• Reviews and develops child safety policies, procedures, codes of conduct, reporting tools and risk registers against the Queensland Child Safe Standards, following a documented collection, review and assessment process.
• Provides flexible advisory support, available as a one off consultation, advisory blocks, or monthly or quarterly arrangements, for boards, managers, child safety officers, staff and volunteers.
• Supplies Child Safe Framework Template Packs, editable Word documents with an Implementation Guide, and free sector specific Child Safe Standards self assessment checklists.
