Commitment to Child Safety
GRPSA has zero tolerance for child abuse and is committed to children’s best interests, wellbeing and keeping them safe.
GRPSA is committed to providing a child safe environment where all children are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives.
Particular attention is paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.
GRPSA actively strives to listen to and empower children to express their views and concerns, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.
We work to educate children about their right to safety.
All persons involved in GRPSA have a responsibility to understand the important and specific role they play as an individual and also a member of a collective group. This is to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children underpins everything we do.
