CHILD SAFE STANDARDS
THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE AND CULTURAL SAFETY
Backbone Youth Arts is committed to providing an environment that ensures the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and children, safeguarding a space so that it is welcome, safe, inclusive, respectful and values the voices of First Nations Peoples.
In culturally safe organisations:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples define cultural safety and how it is measured
workers develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to recognise and address biases and stereotypes, and
systems are transformed so they work better for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
