Commitment to Child Safety
See how Meander Valley Council is dedicated to protecting and nurturing the safety of our children and youth.
Meander Valley Council is committed to being a Child Safe Organisation.
This means the Council will:
- prioritise the safety and wellbeing of children;
- champion the legal and moral responsibilities to keep children safe;
- recognise that children should feel and be safe at all the Council’s facilities and activities;
- have no tolerance for child abuse or harm;
- treat all child safety concerns and allegations with the utmost seriousness;
- foster a culture where children, families, workers, and the community feel safe and encouraged to report concerns about the safety of children;
- encourage the participation of children as valued members of the community; and,
- maintain robust policies and procedures to achieve these commitments and the Child Safe Standards.
