CHILD SAFETY STANDARDS
As of the July 1, the new 11 Child Safety Standards became effective.
The new standards were designed by the Commission for Children and Young People and were introduced for the following reasons.
Consistency with the 10 National Guiding Principles.
Focus on safety for First Nations children and young people.
Involve families and communities in the decision-making process at organisation level.
Manage risk of child abuse online.
Greater clarity on the governance, systems, and processes to keep children and young people safe.
