It is the policy of Girl Guides Queensland to safeguard the welfare and safety of its members while participating in Guiding activities. Guides Queensland takes all reasonable steps to ensure that, through relevant procedures and training, children, young people and adults taking part in Guiding activities do so in a safe and friendly environment.
Guides Queensland is committed to creating child-safe environments that promote learning and enjoyment. The organisation strives to provide services and activities where children and young people:
| • | feel safe and are protected from harm; |
| • | have a say in planning activities and other decisions affecting them; |
| • | are listened to; |
| • | are respected; and |
| • | have their best interests considered and upheld. |
All Girl Guides Queensland Leaders complete a Keeping Children safe orientation in relation to policies and procedures regarding the protection of children from abuse.
Girl Guides Queensland also complies with the Youth Worker requirements of The Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian.
