At Mentone Preschool, the Educators, Committee and Parents are committed to the rights of all children to feel safe, and to be safe at all times.
We work hard to meet child safe standards, to ensure child safety, health and wellbeing is embedded right throughout our service, and to provide a safe environment for all children, including Aboriginal children and their families.
We actively promote the cultural safety of Aboriginal children, the cultural safety of children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and the safety of children with additional needs.
We acknowledge and value the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child, and the fundamental importance of equity, diversity and inclusiveness in our community.
Safe and inclusive environments for all children are created, encouraging them to actively participate, to have a voice and share their ideas, and to learn, grow and develop. It is through our policies and procedures, adhering to the Reportable conduct scheme, education, professional learning, reflective practice and positive action, that enables us to act in the best interests of every child.
We have a zero tolerance approach to child abuse, harm, racism and gender inequality.
