At Landcare Tasmania, we are dedicated to fostering a safe and supportive environment for all individuals involved in our programs, particularly children and young people. Our commitment to child safety reflects our core values of inclusivity, integrity, and community well-being.
Why Child Safety Matters
Child safety is a top priority for us because we recognise the importance of providing a secure and nurturing environment for young participants in our initiatives.
By prioritising child safety, we aim to:
- Protect Vulnerable Individuals: Safeguarding children is essential to prevent harm and create a positive experience for all participants.
- Build Trust: Upholding high standards of child safety builds trust with participants, families, and the community.
- Promote Inclusivity: Ensuring a safe environment fosters inclusivity, allowing all children to participate and benefit from our programs.
Our Commitment to Child Safety
Our Child Safety Commitment encompasses the following key principles and practices:
- Child Protection Policies: We have established comprehensive policies and procedures aligned with best practices in child safety.
- Staff and Volunteer Training: All staff and volunteers will undergo training on child safety protocols and reporting procedures.
- Risk Assessment: We conduct thorough risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential risks to children's safety.
- Background Checks: All individuals working with children undergo background checks to ensure suitability for their role.
- Clear Communication: We prioritise open and transparent communication with participants, families, and stakeholders regarding child safety.
How You Can Support Our Commitment
As a community-driven organisation, we encourage everyone to play a role in upholding child safety:
- Stay Informed: Familiarise yourself with our child safety policies and procedures.
- Report Concerns: If you suspect any form of child abuse or misconduct, report it promptly to our Child Safety Officer via email [email protected] or call 03 6234 7177
