Child Protection Week is a chance to say loud and clear: child safety is everyone’s business. At PCYC Queensland, we’re shining an extra spotlight on the things we’re doing to make sure every child and young person feels safe, respected and heard.
Our new Code of Conduct posters will soon be up around our services. You can see a sneak peek of them below. They’re a clear reminder to everyone – including children and families – of the standards we expect and the values we hold. It’s about being upfront with our commitment to safety, inclusion and respect.
Real Conversations, All Ages
We’ve been having age-appropriate chats with children and young people about what safety means to them. That includes talking about consent, recognising when something doesn’t feel right and knowing who they can talk to. From curious primary school children to thoughtful young people, these conversations are helping build a culture where asking questions and speaking up is encouraged.
Hearing From Our Community
We have also launched a short survey to get feedback from families, children and staff about how we’re doing on safeguarding. What’s working? What else is needed? It’s all part of making sure our policies and practices aren’t just words on paper but really reflect what our community needs.
Child safety is never a one-off conversation. It’s something we keep coming back to, because children and young people deserve nothing less.
