WORKING WITH CHILDREN

The API prides itself on working towards being a Child Safe Organisation. A child safe organisation puts the best interests of children and young people first.  

What is a Child Safe Organisation?

​

As a Child Safe Organisation, the Australian Power Institute would like you to: 

  • Create an environment where children’s safety and wellbeing is at the centre of thought, values and actions.

  • Place emphasis on genuine engagement with children and young people.

  • Respond to any concerns, disclosures, allegations or suspicions of harm by contacting the school you are at first and foremost, then advising the API of the incident
