Child Safe Standards help organisations create a culture of safety which protects and empowers children and young people.

ACT Government is acting upon recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and will soon make it mandatory for organisations engaged in child related work to comply with Child Safe Standards.

In doing so, ACT Government is also promoting the National Principles for Child Safe Standards, which were endorsed by all States and Territories in February 2019.

If you are a worker, volunteer or manager in an organisation that engages with children, tell us what types of support will help you comply with Child Safe Standards through this short online survey.

The survey will be open from now to 28 February 2020.
