Child Safe Organisation
North Sydney Council adheres to the principles of a child safe organisation and is committed to the care and protection of all children and young people.
The principles of a Child Safe Organisation come from the Child Safe Standards which were one of several recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse. They provide a benchmark by which organisations can assess their child safe capability. The standards provide guidance for organisations to create cultures, adopt strategies and act to put the interests of children first whilst keeping them safe from harm. Implementing the standards effectively will helps the organisation drive cultural change. A child safe culture encompasses a set of values and practices that guide the attitudes of all Council employees.
