Child Safety & Our Commitment
At Kaizen Kare, ensuring the safety and well-being of children is our top priority. We are deeply committed to maintaining a secure environment for every child under our care.
Our stringent Child Safety policies and practices are designed to create a protective and nurturing space where children can thrive. We adhere to the highest standards of child protection, implementing comprehensive screening processes with our Youth Mentors and providing ongoing training to ensure they are well-equipped to recognise and respond to any potential child related safety concerns.
Additionally, our programs and activities are carefully designed to prioritise the physical and emotional safety of every child, fostering an environment of trust and support. We understand the importance of open communication with parents, caregivers, schools and the broader community in ensuring child safety. Any feedback or concerns related to child safety are treated with the utmost seriousness, and we actively encourage transparency and collaboration to continuously enhance our child safety measures.
Reporting harm and keeping children safe
If you think a child or young person is at risk of harm from abuse or neglect, contact the Helpline on 13 21 11.
As a parent you also have rights. The law allows parents to bring up their children according to their own values and beliefs. Decisions such as religion, education, discipline, medical treatment and where the child lives will not be interfered with, unless these practices are a risk to a child according to Australian law. This could be when a child is being abused or is not going to school or getting medical help.
Although in many cultures it is usual for children to care for brothers and sisters, in Australia the law says that it's the parent’s responsibility – and legal obligation – to ensure their children are safe and looked after.
A parent or carer can be found guilty of failing to care for the child if they are aware that the child is being sexually or physically abused and does not tell the police, DCJ or take other reasonable steps to remove or protect the child. It is also a crime if any adult knows that a child has been abused physically and/or sexually and does not tell the NSW Police.
