The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has released a research report examining what elements make an institution “child safe”.
Royal Commission CEO Philip Reed said this research report, Key Elements of a Child-Safe Organisation would help institutions prevent, identify and improve responses to physical, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse and the neglect of children.
He said the report was put together using the opinions of a panel of Australian and international experts.
“The research report, conducted by the Social Policy and Research Centre and the Parenting Research Centre, included input from 40 academics, children’s commissioners and guardians, as well as regulators and other child safe industry experts and practitioners,” Reed said.
