At Beyond the Burrow, we hold the safety, rights, and wellbeing of every child at the heart of all we do. We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where children feel secure, respected, and empowered to thrive.
We acknowledge our responsibilities under the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023 (Tas), the Tasmanian Child and Youth Safe Organisations Framework, and the Reportable Conduct Scheme. As part of this commitment, we embed strong safeguarding practices throughout our service, guided by our Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy.
We have zero tolerance for child abuse. Our team is dedicated to preventing harm and responding promptly and appropriately to any concerns raised. We actively promote a culture of openness and trust, where children's voices are heard and their rights are upheld.
Our child protection practices are built on respect, transparency, and care. We understand our legal obligations, including mandatory reporting, and work diligently to protect children from physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse, as well as neglect. Clear guidance and professional boundaries support respectful and appropriate relationships between children and adults.
In all that we do, we honour diversity and celebrate inclusion. We are deeply committed to creating a culturally safe and responsive environment. Discrimination of any kind has no place at Beyond the Burrow.
We ensure that every educator and team member with responsibility for child safety is equipped with the knowledge, training, and support they need to recognise and respond to risk. Ongoing professional development ensures our practices are informed, intentional, and responsive.
We take time to listen, to build trusting relationships, and to empower children to speak up—about anything that matters to them. Their views and experiences help shape the way we grow and improve.
