Tell us how we can keep children and young people safe and enable them to speak up or make a complaint.
Background
The Victorian Child Safe Standards changed on 1 July 2022, and we are updating our policies and procedures to meet the new requirements. We want to keep children and young people safe in all the work we do. We want to listen to their ideas and make sure they know how to speak up or make a complaint if something isn't right. For more information about the Standards you can go the Commission for Children and Young People.
There are many different ways we have contact with children and young people. We run supported playgroups, youth camps and programs, festival and events and library programs. We can have incidental contact with children and young people while working in the community, for example when doing maintenance in parks or sporting clubs. Council manages records and keeps information about children and young people that are involved in our programs.
We are reviewing and updating our policies and processes to ensure children and young people are kept safe whenever they have contact with us, and that they know how to speak up and have their say. For more information about what we have done so far, visit our Child Safety webpage.
For the purposes of the Child Safe Standards, a child is anyone under the age of 18.
