We are committed to providing services and activities that are safe for all children, where child abuse and harm are not tolerated. Child safety is a priority for the TSAA and the prevention and reporting of abuse is supported and encouraged. All staff, volunteers and contractors are responsible for promoting the safety, wellbeing and empowerment of children. All children who seek support from the TSAA have a right to feel and be safe. The TSAA recognises that discrimination can harm children and we treat all children with dignity and respect.  You can confirm that someone is a TSAA volunteer by asking to see their membership card, which will display their volunteer status.
