Council's commitment to child safety
Greater Shepparton City Council is committed to being a child safe organisation across all its services and settings, and has zero tolerance for child abuse.
Children and young people have the right to be and feel safe regardless of their circumstances including their age, gender, Aboriginality, race, religious beliefs, ability, or backgrounds.
We commit to:
- showing leadership in modelling a culture of child safety
- ensuring our employees, volunteers, and contractors understand their role in maintaining a culture of child safety, including acting to prevent, detect, respond to, and report on suspicions of abuse
- promoting cultural respect and cultural safety in all that we do
- listening and respecting the views of all children and young people on matters affecting them, including how we plan our services and environments.
