43. Child and Youth Risk Management Strategies

The Working With Children Check is only one tool in the broader system to promote child-safe environments. Safe environments don’t just happen—they are created through intention, action, planning and ongoing management. Child-related organisations and people who run child-related businesses need to have a child and youth risk management strategy such as Child & Youth Risk Management Strategy.

These strategies represent an organisation’s commitment to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in their care. They outline the policies and procedures within an organisation that promote the welfare of children and protect children from harm.
