This report from 2020, contains recommendations on how to be a child friendly and child safe organisation made by children and young people themselves, based on their own life experiences.
Safe environments are found in those organisations that demonstrate values such as confidentiality, transparency, open-mindedness, integrity, respect, as well as feedback that is acted upon in a timely way.
Over time these organisations develop a reputation for being child friendly and child safe so that more and more children and young people seek to use their services, and so it goes with success building on success.
There are examples of organisations who already provide children and young people with child friendly and child safe environments. However, there are many more who don’t.
