Commonwealth Child Safe Framework compliance statement
As a Commonwealth entity, we must publish a statement of compliance with the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework (the Framework) each year. The following lists our annual statements of compliance with the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework.
The CEO of our agency has authorised the following statement for 2023.
We are committed to promoting and maintaining a culture that does not permit or tolerate child abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
We recognise the role we play in ensuring the safety of children and that ASEA does not undertake activities that directly involve children. Our current overall risk rating is low.
Based on our risk assessment the agency will be taking action to minimise risks such as lack of staff awareness of the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework and the potential for harm to children and young people by third party providers.
Making information, education and training available for our staff is important in creating a safe organisational culture that protects children and keeps them safe.
We comply with the four key requirements of the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework and the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.
