In line with NSW Government legislation, TAFE NSW is committed to promoting the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children and young people (defined legally as people under 18 years of age).

Whether they are students, apprentices or trainees in schools, colleges, workplaces or programs conducted by TAFE NSW or under the auspices of TAFE NSW.

Under new procedures for "Keep Them Safe: a Shared Approach to Child Wellbeing", all TAFE NSW employees are required, by law and/or by departmental policy, to report children and young people suspected to be at risk of significant harm to Community Services within the NSW Department of Human Services.

This policy applies to:

• Students under 18 years old who are enrolled in TAFE NSW courses
• Children and young people who are accessing TAFE services like TAFE counsellors and libraries
• Children enrolled in TAFE NSW Children’s Centres
• Minors who are accompanying their parent/ carer/advocate on TAFE NSW premises or at an off-campus TAFE NSW activity.
