["Background - the Standards",null,null,"Victoria's mandatory Child Safe Standards (the Standards) were introduced in response to recommendations from the Victorian parliamentary inquiry (the Inquiry) into the handling of child abuse by religious and other non-government organisations.\n\nThe Inquiry concluded that more must be done to prevent and respond to child abuse. The Standards aim to promote the safety of children, prevent abuse, and ensure organisations have effective processes for responding to and reporting allegations of child abuse.\n\nTo learn more about the Inquiry, including the Victorian Government's response, visit the Parliament of Victoria website <https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/inquiries/inquiry-into-the-handling-of-child-abuse-by-religious-and-other-organisations/reports>"]

["Regulation - the Standards",null,null,"The Health Regulator is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Standards on behalf of the Secretary of the Department of Health, acting as the prescribed ‘sector regulator’ under the Child Wellbeing and Safety Act 2005 (the Act). \n\nThere are five other regulators of the Standards; the Health Regulator refers to them as co-regulators. Co-regulators work collaboratively to promote the safety of children and compliance with the Standards. In certain instances, co-regulators may work together where an organisation is jointly regulated by two or more co-regulators. \n\nTo learn more about the Standards' co-regulators, visit the Department of Health website <https://www.health.vic.gov.au/childsafestandards#other-child-safe-standards-regulators>"]

An organisation demonstrates compliance when it can effectively show it meets the compliance indicator for each minimum requirement, under each Standard.\n\nAchieving and maintaining compliance requires a sustained effort across each Standard, ensuring that children's safety is promoted and consistently upheld.

The tool can be completed through one of two scenarios: \n\nSelf-directed:  Organisations are encouraged to use the tool on a self-directed basis, and they may do so at any time. Completing the tool can help an organisation identify gaps in its policies, procedures, and practices, as well as areas of strength in meeting the Standards.The Health Regulator recommends use of the tool at least annually, and following any major incident, service modification, or policy change. This approach promotes compliance, supports continuous improvement, and ensures that an organisation’s child safety policies and practices remain current and effective.\n\nHealth Regulator’s request: The Health Regulator may request an organisation to complete this tool as part of assessing compliance with the Standards. This request may be made as a recommendation, a formal request, or through powers available under the Act. Completion of the tool may also accompany or support other information or documents required under the Act.\n\nAssessing compliance: An organisation’s self-assessment does not confirm compliance with the Standards; it reflects the organisation’s own evaluation. Compliance is assessed independently by the Health Regulator using a range of methods, which may include reviewing an organisation's responses to this tool alongside other information or documents obtained under the Act.

This information is critical for the Health Regulator to assess whether the organisation is meeting its obligations, and to identify where the Health Regulator can provide targeted support and education where improvements can be made.  \n\nSubmitting insufficient information hinders the Health Regulator’s ability to conduct a thorough and informed compliance assessment. Knowingly providing false or misleading information is an offence under the Act and may result in enforcement action by the Health Regulator. In such cases, the Health Regulator will adopt a graduated, proportionate, and risk-based approach to address any potential non-compliance.  \n\nThe Health Regulator's Compliance and Enforcement Policy is available on the Department of Health website <https://www.health.vic.gov.au/publications/health-regulator-compliance-enforcement-policy>"]

["Performance summary ",null,null,"Completing the tool will generate a performance summary. The performance summary within the tool provides a snapshot of the organisation’s self-assessment against the Standards. It helps identify where minimum requirements are being met and where gaps exist, such as areas rated “Partially Met” or “Not Met.” This enables organisations to prioritise targeted improvements to strengthen child safety practices.\n\nOrganisations can use this summary to identify key insights from the self-assessment, to guide any improvement strategies that may be required - such as the development of an action plan to resolve gaps or strengthen existing systems and processes, or other improvement and monitoring activities as appropriate. An Action Plan template is available on the Department of Health website <https://www.health.vic.gov.au/childsafestandards#resources>\n\nIt is important to recognise that only the Health Regulator can determine compliance with the Standards, and this is done through its own independent assessment. An organisation’s self-assessment does not confirm compliance with the Standards - it simply reflects the organisation’s own evaluation.  "]

It helps identify where minimum requirements are being met and where gaps exist, such as areas rated “Partially Met” or “Not Met.” This enables organisations to prioritise targeted improvements to strengthen child safety practices.\n\nOrganisations can use this summary to identify key insights from the self-assessment, to guide any improvement strategies that may be required - such as the development of an action plan to resolve gaps or strengthen existing systems and processes, or other improvement and monitoring activities as appropriate. An Action Plan template is available on the Department of Health website <https://www.health.vic.gov.au/childsafestandards#resources>\n\nFor organisations subject to the Standards, compliance is a legal requirement under the Act and failure to comply may result in enforcement action."]
