THE Royal Commission examining child sex abuse has called for community input on how organisations can keep children safe.
The commission’s third issues paper, released today, has declared a focus on ‘child safe organisations’ as the inquiry seeks to examine effective policies and procedures to protect children from sexual abuse.
“Conducting employment screening checks is only one aspect of keeping children safe from sexual abuse in institutions,” the paper says.
“Good child safe policies and practices are needed to reduce potential risks and keep children safer in institutions.”
