Our commitment to Safeguarding
Girl Guides Victoria places the utmost importance on the safety and well-being of all children and young people under our care. Our commitment is reflected in our strict adherence to the Victorian Child Safe Standards, which guide us in implementing comprehensive policies and practices designed to foster a secure and nurturing environment.
We have established a range of robust measures to ensure child safety, including thorough background checks for all volunteers and staff, regular training on child protection, and clear reporting procedures for any concerns or incidents. Our programs are designed to empower children and young people, giving them a voice and ensuring they feel safe and supported at all times.
Our dedication to child safety is unwavering, and we are committed to maintaining a culture of vigilance and care, where the well-being of children and young people is always our top priority.
