Just for the children Childrens Resource Library DHS publications - Child Specific An Overview of the Victorian Child Safe Standards
This document provides general guidance for the implementation of the child safe standards to improve the way organisations that provide services for children prevent and respond to child abuse that may occur within their organisation.
These standards are compulsory for all organisations providing services to children, and aim to drive cultural change in organisations so that protecting children from abuse is embedded in the everyday thinking and practice of leaders, staff and volunteers.

Watch this video of Jenny Smith giving a Budget reaction on behalf of Homelessness Australia, and read the Homelessness Australia media release, and read on for deeper analysis of Budget papers.
