Our Process: Step-by-Step Guidance for Tailored Child Safety Solutions
Elevate your child safety policy with ChildSafe’s consulting service, designed to simplify the journey to stronger, more effective safety protocols. Here’s how our process works:
1. Initiate the Process
Begin by sharing your current child safe policy with us. This typically includes:
- Child Safety Policy
- Code of Conduct
- Complaints/Reporting Policy
Send us copies of these documents, and we’ll take it from there.
2. Preliminary Assessment
Our experienced consultants will conduct a high-level review of your submitted policies and provide an estimate of the hours needed for a detailed analysis and feedback. This ensures transparency and clarity from the start.
3. Personalised Consultation
Upon approval of the proposed plan, one of our consultants will schedule a video call with your team. During this session, they’ll introduce themselves, learn about your organisation’s unique context, and discuss specific areas of concern or focus.
4. Thorough Document Analysis
Your consultant will conduct an in-depth review of your policies, identifying strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement. This ensures that recommendations are tailored specifically to your organisation’s needs.
5. Interactive Feedback Session
Once the analysis is complete, you’ll meet with your consultant to discuss the findings and recommendations. This collaborative session provides an opportunity to ask questions, seek clarification, and ensure the feedback aligns with your goals.
6. Next Steps
If you wish to implement the recommendations provided, we’ll work with you to outline the scope of further enhancements. A separate quote will be provided for this additional work, ensuring flexibility as you strengthen your child safe policy.
