There are many examples of Child Safe Commitment Statements online. Victorian organisations have more commonly been utilising these due to their Child Safe Standards being in effect for several years. These statements have also been used by religious-based organisations as well as disability and out-of-home care providers.
As the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations become accepted practice more child-related organisations are required to develop a commitment statement. A key task is to make it fit for your purpose given the services you provide. Our templates contain some useful documents which can assist you to develop your commitment statement.
