The Department is committed to strengthening how we provide services to children and young people.
Information about how to raise a child safeguarding concern is available.
The Child Safety and Wellbeing Service (CSW Service) was established in late 2022 to lead the Department’s implementation of the Framework. Its focus areas include:
supporting the Department’s monitoring and response of child safeguarding issues;
supporting work areas to foster a child safe organisation culture by providing the Department’s workers (including employees, students, volunteers and contractors) with education and training in child safeguarding;
providing advice to work areas to strengthen policies and protocols around child safeguarding; and
engaging with young Tasmanians
The Department’s efforts to strengthen child safeguarding through the Framework is supported by an independent panel of national experts.
