Evergreen's Commitment to Children's Safety and Wellbeing 

At Evergreen, the safety and wellbeing of children will always be our priority and we believe child safety is everybody’s responsibility. We believe children need to BE safe and FEEL safe to learn, develop and grow. All children are respected at Evergreen and their rights are upheld at all times.

We are committed to developing and implementing policies, procedures, systems and processes to create a child safe environment for children.

Evergreen is committed to preventing child abuse, recognising the signs of abuse, and following our duty of care to all children. We ensure that all staff receive child protection training and maintain their knowledge of child protection processes.

We promote our commitment to the Child Safe Standards and ensure these standards are embedded in our practices.

We are committed to providing and promoting safe environments for all children, which includes conducting ongoing risk assessments and safety checklists and audits to ensure we are providing a safe physical environment for all children in care.

Evergreen is committed to a culturally safe and inclusive environment where we meet the needs of all children including Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children, children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and children with additional needs. We aim to create a safe space where all children can feel a sense of belonging.

At Evergreen we are continuously reflecting on our practices and always have children’s safety and wellbeing at the forefront of any ongoing improvements to our service.
