Beyond Behaviour is a childsafe organisation

It’s vital to think about safety continuously and work towards a culture of safety and care because all of us are responsible for the safety and care of children. 

"Every organisation working with children and young people—no matter their size—has the same obligations to respond effectively to complaints that affect children, whether initiated by a child or young person directly, or by an adult on their behalf." - National Office for Child Safety

We act in the best interests of the vulnerable and take all reasonable steps to ensure their safety as part of our ‘duty of care’.

• Child abuse is not tolerated and must not happen.
• Concerns about child safety are raised by children, parents and carers, staff, contractors and volunteers, and all concerns are acted on and supported.
• Early identification, intervention and support can reduce the significant impacts of child abuse.
• Culture is key – paper policies and procedures won’t save children or anyone if culture is misplaced. 

We are committed to Cultural Safety. Cultural safety for Aboriginal children has been defined as:

"the child being provided with a safe, nurturing and positive environment where they are comfortable with being themselves, expressing their culture… their spiritual and belief systems, and they are supported by the carer… (who) respects their Aboriginality and therefore encourages their sense of self and identity".
