Our goal is to ensure every child and young person is safe, at all times, in all places with all people.
To do that, we need to hear the voices of children and young people, learn from best practice, share those learnings and experiences and keep up to date with emerging risks and research in the field.
The following resources can help your organisation or your community better understand child safe practices.

Helping you keep children and young people safe
Y Safeguarding is the Y’s national safeguarding entity.
Following our experience after being named as Case Study 02 in the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, we have been on a significant journey to transform our safeguarding culture, operations and environment.
We are proud to now be at best practice standard across all of the sectors we work in, including Sport, Recreation, Early Years, Out of School Hours Care, Schools, Disability services and youth services. 
We also continue to self-audit all of our 
Member Ys, regularly.
We are investing in a nationally accredited safeguarding quality assurance program to ensure we are living out best-practice.
We also want to share our learning with you to ensure all children and young people are safe in your settings, because we want to make sure that all children and young people feel safe, and are safe at the Y, in their families and in their communities.
We offer world-leading training and consulting services that help you keep children and young people safe. Therefore, if you need your policy reviewed, your organisation reviewed, some bespoke training or are not quite sure what you need, drop us a line and we will be happy to talk through your safeguarding needs.
