Health and safety
We understand just how important your children are to you, and we take our responsibilities very seriously when caring for them at our child care and early education centres.
The Learning Sanctuary is proud to be part of G8 Education, a group committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of all team members, children attending our centres and their families, visitors, volunteers and external service providers.
Commitment to safety and continuous improvement
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, The Learning Sanctuary has a dedicated support team that provides regular mentoring and guidance to our centre teams. This helps identify and act on improvement opportunities. Consequently, The Learning Sanctuary has developed comprehensive policies and procedures to protect both our team and the children in our care from hazards and harm.
Even with adherence to policy and procedure, The Learning Sanctuary is aware that incidents, injuries, and illness may occur. Therefore, we are committed to ensuring our team members can confidently and effectively respond promptly to any incident that results in injury or illness to reduce further harm and promote recovery.
Child safety
The Learning Sanctuary is committed to ensuring the safety, protection and wellbeing of children by providing an environment where all children are respected, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
We want children to enjoy coming to our centres and to feel safe and supported in friendly surroundings. We are a child-focused organisation, providing quality services where all children are treated with individuality in their developmental domains: social and emotional, language, physical, cognitive, creative and sensory.
We understand the risk and ongoing impact of child abuse and neglect in our society and our collective responsibility to embed a leading culture of child safety and protection.
We have supported this commitment with:
- Applying robust recruitment practices and a zero-tolerance approach that ensures all team members are suitable to work with children.
- Advocating for child protection and establishing partnerships to work collaboratively with organisations that support children and families.
- We partner with Ernst & Young to develop our child protection framework and nurture a child-safe organisation.
- Through our collaboration, evaluation and training, we are sure to deliver best practice to protect and educate our children.
