If your organisation engages with children and young people, it could be legally required to comply with the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Framework. The Framework sets out clear expectations for:
- how these organisations prioritise and promote the safety and wellbeing of children and young people
- how they respond when there are concerns about a worker's behaviour towards children and young people.
It also outlines:
- the importance of independent oversight as a way to ensure organisations fulfil their obligations under the Framework
- when it is appropriate or inappropriate to share information concerning a worker's conduct towards a child or young person.
The Framework will apply to a wide range of Tasmanian organisations that engage with children and young people from 2024 onwards. This online tool provides more information about each of these organisational types and their compliance obligations.
