The Sunraysia Institute of TAFE as a Child Safe organisation, is committed to ensuring the safety, protection, participation and empowerment of all children and young people under the age of 18 years through the following measures: 

• Zero Tolerance: Actively promoting a zero tolerance for child abuse with all allegations and safety concerns being treated seriously and consistently within the child safety framework.
• Legal and Ethical Compliance: Compliance with legal, regulatory, moral and ethical obligations regarding child safety.
• Safe Recruitment Practices: Effective recruitment and human resources practices that consider child safety applicable to directors, staff, volunteers and contractors.
• Training and Education: Regular training and education for directors, staff, volunteers, contractors and students on child abuse risks and how to raise concerns, including reporting processes.
• Support for Vulnerable Groups: Respecting and supporting diversity by recognising the unique needs of children and young people who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, have a disability, are unable to live at home, or identify as part of the LGBTIQA+ community.
• Equitable Access: Providing equitable access to support services, feedback channels, and complaints processes through culturally safe, accessible, and adaptive methods.
• Cultural Safety and Empowerment: Promoting cultural safety and empowerment by actively engaging children and young people in decision-making, valuing their insights, and encouraging them to speak up about matters that affect them.
• Inclusive Environment: Maintaining a discrimination-free environment where all children and young people feel safe, respected, and affirmed in their identity. This includes proactive measures to prevent and address bullying, harassment and racism. We will identify and confront these behaviours promptly and apply appropriate measures to uphold our zero tolerance approach.
• Accessible Support Channels: Providing children and young people with access to information, support, feedback and complaints processes in ways that ensure cultural safety, accessibility and employ any adaptive or assistive methods necessary.
• Safe Physical and Online Environments: Promoting and encouraging physical and situational environments (including online environments) that are safe for children and young people, including the elimination of unnecessary and unsupervised free time for children and young people on campus.
• Reporting Procedures: Maintaining established procedures for the reporting of any inappropriate behaviour and reportable offences through the appropriate channels.
• Risk Management: Proactive management of risks to child safety through identifying and assessing risks, and implementing processes to reduce or remove these risks.
