• Child Safe Standards

  We are committed to the safety and well-being of young people. This is enacted through the Child Safe Standards, formally endorsed by Council on 15 November 2017.

  All Adventure Playground Staff have robust prevention, training, supervision and reporting activities to ensure a child’s safety. 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. From there it can be escalated through Child Protection authorities.

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

  For more information, see the Victorian Government’s Child Safe Standards Resources. You can also learn about City of Port Phillip’s approach here.
