• Child Safe Standards

  We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of young people and have a zero tolerance approach for child abuse. This is enacted through our Child Safe Standards.

  All Adventure Playground staff ensure a child’s safety through robust prevention, training, supervision, policies, and reporting activities. They adhere closely to child safety standards as they run programs.

  If a staff member suspects or receives a report that a child is the subject of abuse or negative treatment they are obliged to report it through appropriate channels. This can include authorities such as Child Protection or Victoria Police.

  All complaints/concerns raised will be treated with strict privacy, seriousness and confidentiality.

  To learn more, see the State Government’s Child Safe Standards Resources. You can also read about our Child Safe Standards here.
