Our Commitment to Child Safety
All children and young people have the right to feel safe and be safe.
That’s why Brophy maintains and continually improves the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people in everything we do.
Brophy values the safety of all children and young people and has zero tolerance for any form of child abuse or harm.
We always listen to and ensure the participation and empowerment of all children and young people.
Brophy has systems to protect children and young people from abuse and harm. All allegations and safety concerns are treated seriously. We work to prevent child abuse and harm stemming from any kind of discrimination.
The cultural safety of First Nations children and young people is important to us. We want to maintain a safe environment so the diverse and unique identities of First Nations children and young people are respected and valued.
Brophy is determined to make sure the diverse and unique needs of all children and young people are heard. We build inclusivity of children and young people who are part of our LGBTIQA+ community.
We enable children and young people with disability to be empowered.
To all children and young people – you’re seen and heard. Brophy is with you.
