ACC Child & Vulnerable Person Safeguarding Policy

The Victorian Government introduced the Child Safe Standards, which are compulsory minimum standards for organisations that provide services for children and young people (or are used by children and young people), to help protect them from harm.
The purpose of the Child & Vulnerable Person Safeguarding Policy is to ensure that all employees, consultants, contractors or volunteers engaged by the organisation, as well as members of the community, are aware of the Department of Justice and Community Safety’s (the department) commitment and obligation to creating a child and vulnerable safe organisation.
The policy aims to communicate The ACC's commitment to child & vulnerable person's safety, in a way that can be understood by all, including children and young people, and it explains key features of the department’s approach to meeting the standards.

Privacy Policy

The Committee of Management of The ACC is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information which the organisation collects, holds and administers. Personal information is information which directly or indirectly identifies a person.  The purpose of this document is to provide a framework for The ACC in dealing with privacy considerations.

The ethical climate of an organisation is an essential element in establishing its credibility and furthering its mission. An organisational culture that takes ethical considerations into account at every point cannot be produced simply by having the Committee lay down a code; ethical principles must arise from consultation with and responsiveness to the organisation’s members, clients, employees, volunteers, and stakeholders. This policy is designed to provide guidelines for procedures that will allow The Australian Children’s Choir to evolve a consensus on the ethical principles that should guide its conduct.
