In June 2019, the National Office for Child Safety introduced the Commonwealth Child Safety Framework which sets standards for creating and embedding child safe cultures and practices in non-corporate Commonwealth entities. Although working and engaging with children is not a core activity of the agency, ONI is committed to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people and will ensure appropriate processes are embedded to create and maintain a child safe culture. To this end, the agency developed and promulgated an Instruction for complying with the Framework and for acting ethically towards children in the workplace and/or when carrying out official duties.
