The National Principles for Child Safe Organisations set out a nationally consistent approach to promoting a culture of child safety and wellbeing within organisations. The principles give effect to the child safe standards that were recommended by the Royal Commission and bring attention to general child safety and wellbeing issues.

As a parent or carer you will experience a range of organisations where your child will be cared for, play, learn, develop new skills and meet other children and adults. This Guide will help you think about how each organisation operates and its safety and wellbeing arrangements for children.

The Introductory Self-Assessment Tool for Organisations helps organisations learn about the National Principles and identify priority areas for improvement.
