Keeping children safe and protected

Our commitment to safeguarding children

Goodstart Early Learning is committed to protecting children. Ensuring that children are and feel safe is our most important priority at Goodstart.

Child Safe Standards

While the National Principles are a nation-wide set of standards, the implementation of them is the responsibility of each state and territory.

Child safe policies

Read the documents that guide the actions of every Goodstart employee to ensure that children feel safe and are safe from abuse, neglect and harm.

Our Child Protection Advocates

Our volunteer Child Protection Advocates in all states and territories play an active role in safeguarding children from abuse and neglect.

Report a safeguarding concern

We encourage any concerns relating to the safety, health or wellbeing of a child or children at a Goodstart centre to be reported to us.

Safety Commitment

Safety starts with each of us - but at Goodstart it is more than that. Empowering all children and Goodstarters to feel safe and be safe is who we are and what we do.

Feel Safe, Be Safe: Protective Strategies

Protective strategies empower children with the knowledge that they have a right to feel safe and be safe all of the time and they can talk to a trusted adult about anything.

We are committed to keeping children safe and protected, so they gain a strong sense of wellbeing, optimism, and confidence to maximise their play, learning and developmental potential.
