Our Commitment to Children and Young People
It is our highest priority at Communicare that all children and young people are safe, happy, have choice and can be heard. Communicare’s commitment to children and young people not only focuses on their safety, but also on supporting them to grow, learn and flourish. Our commitment is reflected in our child safe principles and practices to ensure we protect all children and young people and that they are included.
Our Child Safe Code of Conduct
Communicare have developed a Code of Conduct for how staff, Board Members, contractors and volunteers should act around children and young people. The Code of Conduct outlines rules and expectations that all Communicare Academy stakeholders must follow. It also outlines how to raise issues and the process for any Code of Conduct breeches.
To ensure the Code of Conduct is accessible for young people, we have created Child and Young Person friendly and Easy Read versions of the Code of Conduct.
