All children and young people have the right to feel and be safe, to be heard in matters that affect them and to be protected from harm.
At the Department of Premier and Cabinet, we are accountable for upholding these rights. We embrace our responsibility to guide and achieve positive change across the Tasmanian State Service. We will work as one to put the rights and wellbeing of children and young people at the centre of what we do. We will build and maintain a workplace that is safe for children and young people. We will listen to the diverse needs of all children and young people, no matter their background, culture, abilities, or identity.
Our promise goes beyond just words. We are committed to making meaningful and ongoing changes to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. We will employ the right people. We will embed a culture of self-reflection and continuous improvement. Children and young people will influence decisions that affect them. We will listen to them and learn from them. We will have the courage to change what needs to be changed. We will regularly review our policies and structures through a child and youth safety lens. Our people will be equipped with the skills to recognise and respond to signs of harm.
Our culture will be one where everyone takes responsibility, shares information, and speaks up if something doesn't seem right. Together, we're creating a place where all children and young people are safe from harm. A place where we all protect young people and do what's right, for a safer Tasmania.
