    The Office of the Children’s Guardian works to protect children employed in the film, television, live theatre, radio, still photography, and modelling industries. We all have a part to play in keeping children safe.

    If you have reason to believe a child is at risk of harm please report this to us. 

    Risks to children we wish to mitigate include:

    • Sexual abuse
    • Physical harm
    • Psychological harm
    • Exposure to adult themes or concepts
    • Exploitation through excessive work hours
    • Educational neglect
    • Employment where the employer does not hold a current employers authority
