Ensuring a Safe and Nurturing Environment for Every Child

At Redhead Community Preschool, we are unwavering in our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of every child in our care. Every child has the right to be safe and to feel safe. We recognise that the early years of a child's life are foundational, and it is our highest priority to ensure that our Preschool provides a secure, supportive, and nurturing environment.

Our Commitment:

Our commitment to child safety is underpinned by our adherence to the Child Safe Standards. These standards are integral to our policies, procedures, and practices, ensuring that we provide an environment where every child feels valued, protected, and empowered.

Our Practices:

At Redhead Community Preschool, we implement the Child Safe Standards through:

Regular child safety training for all educators.

Comprehensive child protection policies and procedures regularly reviewed and updated.

Active engagement with children and families, encouraging open communication and feedback.

Maintaining a culture of vigilance, where child safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Educating everyone involved in our Preschool about what it means to be a child safe organisation, so we can prevent, detect and effectively respond to child abuse.

Making sure everyone in our Preschool knows how to appropriately respond to complaints, allegations, disclosures and breaches to our Child Safe Code of Conduct.

Welcoming feedback to continuously improve our child safe policies, procedures and practices.

Making sure that when family and community members interact with our Preschool, they are aware that child safety is everyone’s responsibility, and their behaviour aligns with our child safe practices

To keep children safe, we commit to:

Providing a safe and supportive environment for all children.

Making sure that children are not exposed to any form of harmful conduct or abuse.

Empowering children to participate in decisions that affect them and share any concerns that they may have.

Making sure all children know who to approach if they feel unsafe or have any child safety concerns.

We encourage and support all members of our Preschool community to be vigilant and proactive in promoting our child safe culture. By working together, we can ensure that every child at Redhead Community Preschool is safe, respected, and able to thrive.
