St Stephens is committed to child safe practice. Our aim is that the care, the safety and the welfare of children are embedded in policies and practices which reflect a commitment to zero tolerance of child abuse.
The Child Safe Standards
Victorian organisations that provide services to children are required under the Child Wellbeing and Child Safety Act 2005 to ensure that they comply with compulsory Child Safe Standards to protect children from harm. See the Summary on being a child safe organisation published by the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP).
