QA Child Protection Policy and Procedures
The core beliefs of the Society require us to treat all people with love and dignity and to care for those who are less powerful and in need of nurture and protection. The Society’s Child Protection Policy and Procedures aim to reduce the risk of abuse to minors occurring, and to ensure that a caring and appropriate response is taken should abuse be alleged to have occurred. The Child Protection Committee supports Regional Meeting Child Protection Contact Friends in carrying out their roles. Australian Friends have adopted the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. The Regional Meetings Resources page also has a link to the Child Safety Policy & Procedures.
