As we move into the new year, and important changes and strengthening are made to Queensland Child Safety legislation, we would like to take this opportunity to re-affirm our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the children and young people we are privileged to work with.
At Helen Walker Occupational Therapy we are committed to providing a child-safe and child-friendly environment, where all children and young people are respected, valued, and protected from harm. We actively uphold the rights of children to feel safe and to be safe, to have a voice in decisions that affect them, and to access services that promote their wellbeing, development and strong sense of confidence.
We recognise and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures, language and traditions within our community including First Nations People, those with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ and those with diverse abilities. At our core we aim to provide a safe, inclusive space for all -embracing equity and cultural safety. We hold zero tolerance for abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
We continue to uphold this level of care, duty and commitment to ALL clients who interact with our service, regardless of age. But welcome and actively support these changes by the Queensland Government in regard to the safety of children and young people.
