Simon Fleming Photography - Code Of Conduct for a Child Safe Organisation
In our role as photographers when interacting with children we:
will adhere to our organisation’s child safe policy at all times and take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety and protection of children.
treat everyone with respect and honesty including staff, volunteers, students, children & parents.
aim to be positive role models to children in all of our conduct with them.
listen and respond appropriately to the views and concerns of children.
ensure that another adult is always present or in sight when photographing a child (this is why our business specifically has two staff that attend kindergarten photo sessions).
aim to be alert to children who are, or may be at risk of harm, and report this quickly to the Child Abuse Report Line (13 14 78).
will respond quickly, fairly and transparently to any serious complaints made by a child, or their parent/guardian.
will avoid physical contact with children.
will not do things of a personal nature that a child can do for themselves, such as toileting or changing clothes.
will not discriminate against any child because of age, gender, cultural background, religion, vulnerability or sexuality.
A breach of our code of conduct can be reported directly to the staff of the kindergarten concerned, or a claim can be made in writing to us at info@sfpkindys.com.
All claims of a breach of our code of conduct will be responded to quickly & treated with all due care.
