Our Commitment to Child Safety

At Visual Dreaming, the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is our highest priority.

We are proud to be a child-safe organisation, and we place young people at the centre of everything we do.

We are committed to creating safe, supportive, and empowering environments where children feel respected, valued, and heard. Our work is guided by the Child Safe Standards as outlined by the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian, and we continuously review and improve our practices to uphold these standards.

Our Child Safe Approach

We embed child safety into every aspect of our organisation. Our approach includes:

Empowering Young People

We support children and young people to express themselves, participate in decision-making, and have a voice in shaping their programs and services.

Safe and Trusted Environments

We provide safe spaces, online and in person. Where young people feel comfortable, included, and culturally respected.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review our practices, consult with young people and families, and adapt to meet evolving needs and best practice standards.

Child-Safe Staff and Volunteers

All staff and volunteers undergo Working with Children Checks, receive child safety training, and commit to our Code of Conduct. We foster a culture of accountability, openness, and vigilance.

Policies and Procedures

We have clear policies for child safety, risk management, and responding to concerns or complaints. We act swiftly and sensitively to ensure the safety and rights of all children and young people involved in our programs.

Your Role in Child Safety

We believe keeping children safe is a shared responsibility. Parents, carers, and community members are encouraged to stay engaged and speak up if they have questions or concerns. If you would like to know more about our child safe practices, or if you have a question or concern about a child’s wellbeing, please get in touch with us confidentially.
