Jean Hailes for Women’s Health is committed to being a Child Safe Organisation and works actively to create an environment in which children and young people are:
valued, respected and protected
encouraged to thrive, empowered and informed about their rights
encouraged and supported to participate in decisions.
We have a zero tolerance to any form of child abuse and neglect and actively respond to any safety concerns.
- We are committed to working in partnership with children, families and communities
to support early intervention, reduce vulnerability and prevent harm to children. - We recognise the importance of cultural safety for Aboriginal children
and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and
proactively establish practices which are culturally respectful and inclusive. - We are committed to equitable access to services
for children of all abilities and identities. - We embed child safety and wellbeing through strong
governance, leadership and decision-making practices. - We have robust child safe recruitment practices and equip staff with appropriate
training and supervision to identify and respond to child safety concerns. - We actively seek feedback and treat all complaints, concerns and disclosures
of suspected child abuse seriously and respond promptly and thoroughly.
