A Child Safety and Wellbeing Framework is now in place across the Department of Health, safeguarding children and young people accessing our services and facilities.
The Department of Health has a duty to make sure that all children that access our services enjoy the rights set out in the UNHCR Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The Child Safe Organisation Project is aiming to make systemic change in the approach to promoting children and young people’s rights, safety and wellbeing across all areas of the Department.
If you or your child have a concern about how they have been treated by the Department of Health, it is important to let us know. Speaking up can be frightening for children and young people – adults can help them through the process and encourage them to speak up.
