Revised National Principles for Child Safe Organisations

The Australian Human Rights Commission has published a revised version of the draft National Principles for Child Safe Organisations on the Child Safe Organisations website. This version of the National Principles will be progressed to the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) for consideration and endorsement. One of the responsibilities of the new National Office for Child Safety (set up within the the Commonwealth Department of Social Services) will be to work with state and territory governments to coordinate the efforts of the Commonwealth Government and states and territories in implementing the National Principles, once endorsed by COAG. For further information see the latest Child Safe Organisations National Principles e-newsletter.
