Director
At Little Emu Academy, the safety, health, and wellbeing of all children is our highest priority. We believe that every child has the right to feel safe, protected, and respected at all times while in our care.
Little Emu Academy has zero tolerance for any form of child abuse or harm. We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where children feel secure, empowered, and confident to speak up if they have concerns about their own safety or the safety of others. All concerns are taken seriously and responded to promptly and sensitively.
Little Emu Academy takes a proactive and preventative approach to child safety. We implement strong systems, procedures, and ongoing training to ensure children are protected at all times while in our care. These include:
Secure, gated and locked entrances to the service to prevent unauthorised access.
CCTV monitoring across the service, including all indoor and outdoor areas, to support safety, supervision, and accountability.
Strict Working With Children Check (WWCC) requirements for all staff, students, contractors, and volunteers prior to engagement.
Comprehensive background and reference checks conducted for all employees.
Regular child safety and child protection training for all educators and staff, including ongoing professional development.
Mandatory child-safe practices embedded across the service, with clear expectations for behaviour, supervision, and reporting.
Current First Aid, Anaphylaxis, and Asthma certifications held by staff, with training regularly renewed in line with regulatory requirements.
