At St Joseph’s Early childhood Service (SJECS), we are dedicated to ensuring the safety, protection, and well-being of the children in our care. We’re committed to creating learning environments where all children are respected, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
At SJECS all aspects of our service provision are guided by the Child Safe Standards. The Child Safe Standards provide tangible guidance for organisations to drive a child safe culture, adopt strategies and act to put the interests of children first, to keep them safe from harm.
As a Child Safe Organisation, we embed comprehensive child protection measures that apply to all educators, staff, students, volunteers, visitors and others who may represent SJECS in any capacity.
