Nambour Community Centre – Keeping Children Safe Statement
Nambour Community Centre is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all children and young people. Their safety and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do. We have zero tolerance for child abuse, harm, or neglect. We are committed to providing a culturally safe space for all people accessing our Centre and our programs.
We take our responsibility to protect children seriously and are committed to complying with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and all relevant Queensland legislation.
To ensure children are safe in our programs and spaces, we:
- Actively engage with children regarding their rights and encourage children and young people to participate, speak up, and be heard
- Value the wisdom of and work with parents, caregivers, and our community to promote keeping children safe and children’s wellbeing
- Uphold the cultural rights and safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
- Value and support the inclusion of children living with disability and children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds
- Ensure that people working with children are suitable, safe and supported to reflect keeping children safe and children’s wellbeing values in practice
- Embed principles of keeping children safe and children’s wellbeing in our management committee, leadership team, staff and volunteers
- Provide ongoing training to ensure everyone understands their responsibilities in keeping children safe
- Maintain clear procedures for identifying, reporting, and responding to child focused concerns or allegations
- Work to ensure our physical and online spaces are safe, promote wellbeing and minimise risk of harm to children
We are committed to continuous improvement.
Our policies and procedures to keep children safe are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain effective, transparent, and aligned with best practice.
At Nambour Community Centre, every child has the right to feel safe, respected and empowered.
Nambour Community Centre
A community in action since 1980
Nambour Community Centre (NCC) Inc provides a community of care and a range of opportunities for meaningful connections between members of our community. Since the centre was first established in 1980, there has been a sustained commitment to action, which has been woven like a “thread of care” through all of the community and program work at NCC.
Our Programs
Our free, voluntary family support service helps families of children aged 0-18 achieve their goals, build connections, and foster a sense of belonging in creative and inclusive ways.
Our Multicultural Connections program celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the Sunshine Coast, fostering inclusion, support, and empowerment for people from migrant backgrounds.
Our Community Development program is dedicated to creating opportunities for connection, growth, and sustainability. We work hand-in-hand with the local community to design initiatives that empower individuals, strengthen relationships, and build a shared sense of belonging.
