Together for Safeguarding: A workforce capability framework for the child and family sector

In partnership with Social Vantage Advisory and Queensland Family and Child Commission, PeakCare is proud to produce the Together for Safeguarding: A workforce capability framework for the child and family sector.

This framework will support organisations in embedding child safeguarding into their culture, systems and workforce. It provides clear, role-specific guidance that enables staff, from frontline workers to Board members, to understand what child safeguarding practice looks like in action. It is based on evidence, shaped by lived experience, and aligned with the Queensland Child Safe Standards and Universal Principle.

The Embedding Safeguarding into Everyday Practice resource has been developed to support organisations across the sector to implement the framework in a way that is practical, tailored and sustainable. It outlines a phased approach that begins with establishing a clear baseline of current safeguarding culture, systems and workforce capability and builds toward a whole-of- organisation integration.

Establishing a baseline is a critical first step in piloting the framework. It helps you understand your organisation’s current safeguarding culture, systems and workforce capability, and identify gaps and opportunities for growth.
