Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy

The purpose of this policy is to outline Moira Shire Council’s commitment to child safety by creating and maintaining child safe environments and a child safe workplace that supports the health and wellbeing of all children in Moira Shire. This policy also explains what people who work for the Council must do if they think a child is at risk of abuse or harm.

This policy reflects Council’s responsibility in meeting the requirements of the Child Safe Standards and legislative reporting requirements and our commitment that our culture, practices and priorities will create and sustain an environment where children feel safe, nurtured and protected, and where they are confident to share their views and concerns and trust that these will be heard and taken seriously.
