Child Safe Policy

All FDC organisations must have a Child Safe policy – under Regulation 168 services must have a policy about providing a child safe environment – for many services this might be your organisation’s child protection policy. This particular Child Safe policy describes an organisation’s commitment to safeguard children from harm within the service.A Child Safe policy:

  • helps to ensure a FDC has done its best to be a safe environment for children in its care;
  • demonstrates that the FDC takes its duty to ensure children’s safety from physical, emotional or sexual harm seriously; and
  • gives guidelines for how the FDC service should act to ensure children are safe within its care.

 

Your child protection policy may cover some of the same areas as this policy, so you will need to assess whether you need to:

  • Include the material in this policy within your child protection policy.
  • Adopt this as a separate stand-alone policy.
  • Remove some of these areas from your existing child protection policy and then adopt this Child Safe Policy.
  • Best practice would be to have a specific child safe policy as well as a broader child protection policy.
