Child Safe Scheme

Under the Child Safe Scheme, certain child-related organisations in NSW must put into action the Child Safe Standards recommended by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

interlocking blocks

All child-related organisations in NSW should apply the NSW Child Safe Standards to better prevent and respond to child abuse.

Organisations under the Child Safe Scheme must demonstrate their commitment to child safety by having child safe systems, policies and processes based on the Child Safe Standards.

Some NSW Government agencies must also develop a child safe strategy for their child-related services and those they fund or regulate. This is called a Child Safe Action Plan.
