Working from a child centred approach, the aim of the program is to ensure that young people are supported therapeutically through the safe provision of a physically, emotionally, and culturally appropriate family environment.

It is your obligation to always ensure their safety and report any concerns in line with our duty of care obligations. We have zero tolerance when it comes to abuse of any kind and will take disciplinary action, including up to termination of employment, should we determine that abuse has taken place or there has been a failure to report any suspected or alleged abuse.
