National Framework - Creating Safe Environments For Children

Organisations, Employees and Volunteers

'Creating Safe Environments For Children - organisations, employees and volunteers' expresses commitment from Community and Disability Services Ministers to a national approach for increasing the safety of children in their dealings with community service organisations.

Ministers are unanimous about the need to work collaboratively and to provide national guidance in the interests of creating safe environments for children in community services.

This National Framework is a milestone in taking a more comprehensive national approach to creating child-safe organisations, whilst acknowledging the broad scope of community services and respecting variations between jurisdictions.

The Framework has been developed through collaboration between all jurisdictions and in cooperation with law enforcement, justice and education portfolios which share a commitment to the safety of children.
