Young Life Australia’s Young Life Safe Framework is our commitment to welcoming people and providing a safe environment, culture, and programs, including safe and secure physical, emotional, and spiritual environments.
This commitment is part of our vision and mission to operate according to biblical, Christian principles for living and for recognising the unique value and potential of every person.
The Framework is designed to ensure that all persons associated with Young Life fulfil their pastoral, legal, organisational and duty of care obligations towards young people, with the aim of providing God-honouring, life-giving, harm-free programs.
The Framework forms part of Young Life’s operational documentation which includes our: constitution; operations manual; employment/human resource management; privacy; work, health and safety; emergency management and critical incident documents.
The Framework will be implemented by all levels of Young Life according to the policy and associated procedures, practices, and implementation forms (available on our website).
Acknowledging that keeping people safe is a shared responsibility, we are committed to clearly communicating relevant aspects of the Framework to all those associated with Young Life.
