Child Safety Ambassador Programme
New Zealand's Only Child Safe Organisation Endorsement Programme
Informed by safeguarding accreditation and best practice expertise, our Child Safety Ambassador Programme is a unique organisational safeguarding programme that helps organisations across all sectors of Aotearoa’s children’s workforce strengthen their safeguarding framework, capabilities, and culture.
The model's unique framework integrates key child safety influencers and creates a tailored and proportionate means of guiding organisations through effectively embedding the ten Child Safe Organisation Principles. Moving organisations beyond compliance to become endorsed child safe organisations.
Programme spaces are limited throughout the year. So, we recommend ordering the Child Safety Ambassador Programme Brochure or booking a free, no-obligation consultation to explore whether endorsement is right for your organisation.
Child Rights
The model upholds, advocates for, and integrates child rights, ensuring children’s voices are central to safeguarding practices.
Royal Commission Recommendations
The model incorporates key national and international child safety Royal Commission recommendations.
Child-Centred Practice
The model promotes and drives child-centred practices, ensuring the child’s needs remain the priority.
Victim-Survivor Insights and Influences
The model ensures victim-survivor insights and, where applicable, participation influence current safeguards.
Values-Based Approaches
Each Principle aligns with a values-based approach, ensuring the safeguarding culture is reflective of moral, ethical and legislated child safety expectations.
Organisations choose the Ambassador Programme to:
✔ Demonstrate child safety best practices across people, systems, services and environments.
✔ Strengthen trust, confidence and organisational credibility.
✔ Build safeguarding capability and drive continuous improvement.
✔ Embed a safeguarding culture that safeguards everyone.
✔ Align with Royal Commission child safety recommendations and expectations.
✔ Achieve independent recognition of their commitment to child safety
By embedding tailored safeguarding and child protection measures and ensuring child safety is actively demonstrated as a core part of the organisation’s identity and culture, the Child Safety Ambassador Programme delivers on its promise and more.
