Victorian Child Safe Standards Compliance Statement

Victorian Child Safe Standards Compliance Statement Template

Victoria's Child Safe Standards exist to protect children and young people from harm in organisations. If your organisation works with children, demonstrating compliance isn't optional—it's a legal requirement under the Child Wellbeing and Safety Act 2005.

This Victorian Child Safe Standards Compliance Statement template helps schools, childcare centres, sports clubs, community organisations, and any Victorian entity working with children to formally document their compliance measures. Whether you're preparing for an audit, onboarding new staff, or establishing governance frameworks, this template streamlines the process of collecting and recording critical child safety information.

What this template covers

The form captures detailed information across all eleven Victorian Child Safe Standards, including:

• Organisational commitment to child safety and cultural safety for Aboriginal children
• Child safety policies and procedures embedded in your organisation
• Working With Children Check (WWCC) screening processes and verification
• Risk management frameworks specific to child safety
• Staff and volunteer training on child safety responsibilities
• Reportable Conduct Scheme obligations and incident reporting procedures
• Complaint handling mechanisms accessible to children and families
• Information sharing protocols with relevant authorities
• Review and continuous improvement practices

Built for Australian organisations, trusted by professionals

This template is designed specifically for Victorian organisations navigating the Child Safe Standards framework. It's particularly valuable for schools, early childhood services, disability services, sports and recreation clubs, religious organisations, and community groups that engage with children.

The form collects structured compliance data that can be used for internal governance, Board reporting, regulatory submissions, or external audits. With conditional logic built in, you can tailor questions based on organisation type and specific circumstances, ensuring every submission is relevant and comprehensive.
