Protecting our young people is the duty of each and every member and group within the QLHF. With that being the case, the QLHF, in partnership with Bravehearts, developed the following Child Protection Policy, which was accepted by the members in 2017.
All members, and in particular Group Admins, should make themselves familiar with this document.
Should any member have concerns, they should contact the Child Protection Officer, Adrienne Alexander at qlhf@qlhf.org.au.
If you would like to talk to someone outside the QLHF about a child protection matter, Bravehearts have a toll free line 1800 272 831 from 8:30 to 4:30 Monday to Friday.
If you would like to talk to someone outside hours please call:
Kids Help Line – 1800 55 1800
Lifeline – 13 11 14
Police Link – 131 444
Of course, if you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000.
