Statement Of Commitment To Child Safety

We honour Aboriginal culture with genuine respect and everyday practices that build belonging.
Children learn to value Country, community and identity through meaningful experiences.
We work alongside families to ensure every child feels seen, proud and safe.

Our leaders set the tone: child safety always comes first.
We talk about it, monitor it, and strengthen it continually — not only when there’s a problem.
At MM, everyone is responsible for protecting children, every day.

We teach children that their voice matters and their body belongs to them.
Educators listen closely, respond gently, and take children seriously.
Children are supported to speak up, ask for help, and feel safe to be themselves.

We believe families are a child’s first and most important protectors — and we work as a team.
We communicate openly, welcome questions, and respond to concerns with care and respect.
Our community connections and excursions are always planned with safety and wellbeing at the centre.

Every child deserves to feel they belong.
We celebrate different cultures, languages, abilities and family stories with warmth and respect.
We adjust our approaches so each child is supported fairly, confidently and with dignity.

Our educators are carefully screened, inducted and guided by strong professional boundaries.
We support our team with mentoring, supervision and reflective practice.
We act early on concerns because children’s safety is never negotiable.

We make it safe to speak up — for children, families and staff.
Concerns are handled sensitively, respectfully and promptly.
Every decision is guided by one question: “What keeps the child safest?”

All educators complete mandatory child protection training and refresh it regularly.
Our team holds current First Aid and CPR, so we’re prepared in emergencies.
We are also trained in food allergen awareness, anaphylaxis safety, and safe food handling to protect children’s health.

We practise active supervision and line-of-sight care across all indoor and outdoor spaces.
We protect privacy and follow strict e-safety expectations around images and devices.
Our environment is prepared to support calm, secure learning and wellbeing.

We learn and improve continuously — through audits, reflection, feedback and review.
We don’t “set and forget” safety: we keep strengthening it.
Because children deserve the very best — always.

Our child safety policies guide our daily routines and decisions, not just paperwork.
Educators are inducted into clear procedures for supervision, reporting, allergies, privacy and more.
Families can trust our commitment is written, understood, and lived.
