NEW strategies to safeguard children from harm will be implemented by Kingston Council.
Council has prepared a new child safe strategy and action plan. The mayor Hadi Saab says the plan will “put a renewed focus on the active support for and inclusion of children with diverse needs and from different cultures, will empower children and young people to participate in decisions affecting them, aim to engage families and the wider community in decisions that affect their children, will improve the handling of complaints and reports, and place a renewed emphasis on identifying and preventing risks to child safety in both online and physical environments.”
“Our strategy reiterates our commitment to child safety, that is championed within the organisation from the top down, and it will ensure our staff members, volunteers and students continue to put child safety and wellness first,” he said.
