Our Commitment
All children and young people who come to EverAbility have a right to feel and be safe. We are committed to providing a child safe and child friendly environment, where children and young people are safe and feel safe and are able to actively participate in decisions that affect their lives.
EverAbility will not tolerate harm, abuse, neglect and grooming, and are committed to acting in the best interests of children and young people, and keeping them safe from harm.
As a Child Safe Organisation, EverAbility will create conditions that will:
- reduce the likelihood of harm to children and young people;
- increase the likelihood of identifying harm;
- be responsive to concerns, suspicions, allegations and disclosures; and
- enable children and young people to provide feedback or make a complaint relating to their experiences at EverAbility.
This is reflected in the EverAbility Child Safe Policy.
Our team commits to the principles in our Child Safe Code of Conduct.
