Child Safety Standards Legislation (from 01/01/17)

Child safety is a shared responsibility at all levels for communities, organisations and institutions that directly engage with or provide services to children. These bodies should act with the best interests of the child as a primary consideration. Institutions need to ensure that this principle is widely known and understood by all staff and volunteers, appropriately integrated, and consistently applied across all elements.

The Victorian Government now requires professional and voluntary organizations, sporting clubs and associations which have contact with children to implement Child Safe Standards by 01/01/17.
