Office of the Children's Guardian

The NSW Office of the Children's Guardian regulate, monitor and support child-related organisations by building capability and using risk-based enforcement powers. We enable organisations to take action to prevent harm to children and young people through risk identification and management. We:

have oversight of child-related organisations

promote child safe practices

identify gaps in protection

monitor performance and trends, and

detect and act on non-compliance.

We require organisations to use the child safe standards to implement child safe practice within their organisations. We provide guidance on how to implement the standards and organisations are expected to demonstrate how they create and maintain cultures where children's interests and rights are prioritised.
