Child safety
Children’s rights and best interests are paramount. Everyone working in early childhood education and outside school hours care contexts plays a crucial role in:
- providing a child safe environment
- protecting children from harm, abuse and neglect
- responding to and reporting incidents, suspected incidents and concerns.
