Most children and young people enjoy participating in the activities and services provided by communities and organisations.

The staff, volunteers and students on work experience with these organisations make a valuable contribution to kids’ lives.

In this section of our website you will find sensible advice, information and resources that will help your organisation, program or group to promote child-safe and child-friendly policies and practices.

Child-safe means taking steps to keep children safe from physical, sexual or emotional abuse.

Child-friendly means kids are valued, respected and included so they feel confident they will be listened to.

Kids, parents, staff, volunteers and students can all contribute to - and benefit from - creating child-safe and child-friendly environments.

There are some simple and easy-to-follow strategies you can use to make your organisation safer for kids. They will also help make your service more attractive and fun to the children and young people who spend time there.
