Protection of Minors

While providing treatment or services to minors, it is essential that an understanding of current legislation is adhered to. This legislation has clear requirements and guidelines for organisations that work or deal with young people under 18 years of age.

Principles Behind Legislation

Welfare:

The welfare of all young people is of primary concern. Employees are expected to always prioritise the safety of young by applying common sense.

Trust:

All employees should recognise that children will see them as trusted representatives of the business.

Communication:

You should try to ensure that communication with children is open and clear.

Responsibility:

All incidents and allegations should be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately.
