Committed to the safety of all children
We place the safety of children and young people at the forefront of our operations and are always seeking to strengthen our child safe culture across programs and services.
Some of the ways we do this include:
- Requiring all paid and unpaid staff to adhere to our Code of Conduct
- Ensuring all relevant staff have a current Working with Children (WWC) card
- Requiring all staff undergo police checks and additional screenings based on program requirements
- Continuously identifying areas for improvement in our services and encouraging our staff, foster carers, volunteers, families and children to report any ideas, concerns or feedback
- Having clear policies, procedures and systems to ensure that children are kept safe and that anything that could harm a child is reported and actioned
- Valuing diversity and inclusion, and taking action to encourage participation and prevent discrimination
Contact us to enquire about child safety at Uplyft or to report a child safety concern.
You can request the use of an interpreter or
we can refer you to a teletypewriter service.
Your experiences are valuable in helping us to understand the impact of our services. We welcome you to share anything that can be implemented, improved upon or continued for future families' benefit. We have a number of avenues for providing feedback and complaints, including child-friendly options.
Our process is confidential, and you can remain anonymous.
After more than 80 years of service, Wanslea is rebranding to provide a clearer, more contemporary way to reflect who we are, the services we provide, and how we work alongside our partners.
This rebrand reflects our growth and evolution, not a change in purpose.
We look forward to continuing our work with you in this exciting new chapter.
