OUR Commitment to Child Safety & Wellbeing

Capers Early Learning is committed to Safety and Wellbeing for all children in our care.

• Rigorous Recruitment Processes – Processes include professional reference checks, Working with Children Check, and follow up processes including the National Educators Register.

• Intensive Induction Processes – Ensuring that every educator understands their responsibilities and has the tools to ensure children’s safety and wellbeing. These include the Statement of Shared Commitment and Code of Conduct.

• Environmental Protections – CCTV across all services. Clear sight lines in our environments, that are purpose built to ensure safety through design.

• Team Based Supervision – All rooms have a minimum of two team members rostered. Educators work together to ensure supervision is visible, consistent, and accountable.

• Educator Wellbeing – Educator wellbeing is supported through regular breaks to ensure observational skills are sharp and stress levels are manageable, and relationships foster safety and wellbeing.

• Ongoing Training across all members of the organisation in child safeguarding and mandatory reporting requirements, as well as appropriate and inappropriate discipline.

• Child Safe Culture where the Rights of the Child are centred within our work and Children are listened to, believed, and empowered. Children are treated with respect and dignity every day.

• Dedicated processes of Inclusion and Cultural Safety for all children, including children of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander decent.

• Child Protection Education for all children including giving consent and setting boundaries.
