SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
BACKGROUND
In July 2022 the Victorian Government released 11 new Victorian child safe standards.
The aim of the Child Safe Standards is to drive continuous improvement so that protecting children from abuse is embedded in the everyday thinking and practice of leaders, staff, and volunteers. The focus of the standards is on raising awareness and helping organisations to create and maintain child safe environments through education and training.
Western Leisure Services as an organisation is aiming to systematically build our capacity to keep children and young people safe from abuse and exploitation by any persons and we recognise the vital role we play in the health, wellbeing, care, and education of children and young people.
OUR COMMITMENT
Western Leisure Services Pty Ltd (WLS) also known as WynActive is committed to providing an environment which protects the health, safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. We want children to be safe, happy and empowered. We are committed to ensuring the protection of children and young people from any form of abuse or conduct that puts them at risk.
WLS is meeting this challenge, in part, through our safeguarding children and young people policy which provides the framework to help us continually embed a child-safe culture into our organisation.
WLS believes that safeguarding children is everyone’s responsibility and we will consciously act to be a child-safe organisation which supports children to flourish.
