Family Tech Agreement

How a family tech agreement works
This is a sample section of a family tech agreement. It is important for parents
and carers to agree to some of the rules, as how you use technology provides a
model for children to follow. You can also decide which rules are appropriate for children of different ages.

Understanding Cultural Safety for
Aboriginal children and young
people

Culture is vital for the safety and wellbeing of Aboriginal children and young
people. 
 
Cultural safety involves welcoming Aboriginal children and young people, and their families into your organisation, and supporting them to express their culture and enjoy their rights.

Establishing culturally safe environments for Aboriginal children is also a legal
requirement under the Child Safe Standards:
​
Child Safe Standard 1 requires organisations to establish a culturally safe environment in which the diverse and unique identities and experiences of Aboriginal children and young people are respected and valued.
​
We’ve developed a guide to help you understand cultural safety and what you can do to establish culturally safe environments in your organisation. It includes practical tips and tools that will help you meet the requirements of Child Safe Standard 1 and make your organisation a safer place for children and young people.
