Child safety comes first — in everything we plan.
Hole in the Clouds is being built around a single purpose: helping children through difficult family circumstances. Keeping children safe in the process is fundamental, not optional.
Our commitment
We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of every child and young person we work with.
We intend for every program to be designed with child safety considered from the outset, not added afterward.
We are committed to appropriate screening, supervision and conduct standards for anyone working directly with children.
We are committed to listening to children and taking their voice seriously in matters that affect them.
We are committed to handling information about children and families with care, and only collecting what we genuinely need.
We are committed to working appropriately with families, schools and professionals to keep children safe.
A detailed, formal Child Safe Policy — covering matters such as recruitment screening, working with children checks, incident reporting, complaints handling and staff/volunteer training — is still being developed. This page will be updated with a link to that policy once it is finalised. Until then, the statements above describe our intent and commitment rather than a completed, published policy.
