St John NT has zero tolerance for child abuse.
St John NT is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people who participate in our activities, programs, events, services and patient care.
We want children to be safe, supported, nurtured and empowered while involved in our programs and being cared for by our people. We will take a preventative, proactive and participatory approach to child safety.
This commitment includes:
providing a child safe environment
valuing the input of parents, guardians or carers
respecting culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds
We promise to:
foster a culture of openness without fear of repercussions, victimisation or retaliation
provide St John NT members with education on child safety
ask for consent from parents, guardians or carers
We take all allegations and concerns around abuse very seriously. We will always strive to ensure that children do not experience neglect, abuse, harm or exploitation during their involvement and interactions with St John NT.
