Safeguarding Children & Young People (SCYP) at RMHC

At Ronald McDonald House Charities, the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to SCYP reflects our core values and responsibility to create environments where every child feels protected, respected, and supported.

We actively embed safeguarding principles into our Programs and culture, ensuring that staff, volunteers, and partners understand their role in keeping children safe.

 

Children’s Rights

We believe every child has the right to be safe, cared for, and heard. Our approach aligns with the principles outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which sets out the fundamental rights that all children are entitled to, including protection from harm and the right to participate in decisions that affect them.

Acknowledgement of Country

At RMHC Australia, we respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land, skies and waterways on which we gather today. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. We celebrate the resilience and strength of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people, the next generation of storytellers, Custodians, and leaders. We are honoured to support and work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples including families with ill or injured children, so together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for every child.

Make a Difference for Families & Children

Parents don’t know when their child will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can strive to support them all throughout their journey.
