Child Safety Statement
Child Safe Organisation Statement of Commitment
Our Commitment as a Child Safe Organisation
In September 2024, Queensland Parliament passed the new Child Safe Organisations Act 2024 (The Act).
The Lady Musgrave Trust recognises its status as a child safe entity under The Act due to its provision of community services to women and their children.
The Trust has addressed its obligations as a CSO through appropriate governance and operational documentation and allocation of responsibilities and staged implementation in the following key areas:
- The Trust has adopted a Child Safety Policy/Statement of Commitment which is overseen by the Trust’s Governance and Risk Committee, reporting to the the Trust Board
- Working with CSO partners to ensure appropriate integration and oversight of our shared obligations under the Act.
- Ensuring oversight and integration of the key accountabilities of the Trust under the CSO in appropriate policy, procedure and process documents
- Delivering operational oversight of key areas pertaining to the CSO, through compliance, training, case management and other operational process reviews
- Ongoing assurance, review and evolution of key operational and governance decisions to ensure ongoing alignment with the CSO
