At Clarence City Council we care about children and young people’s safety and wellbeing, and our commitment to this is outlined in the Safeguarding Children and Youth Policy 2024.

The purpose of the policy is to define council’s commitment to creating and maintaining a
Child and Youth Safe Organisation. This policy outlines our position and responsibilities toward the safeguarding of Children and Youth in our physical and online environments.

We have zero tolerance of child abuse and harm.

All safety concerns, allegations and reports are taken seriously in line with our policies and procedures, and in compliance with the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023.
