Safeguarding Children and Young People

Nossal Institute for Global Health considers the integrity and value of the individual to be paramount and as such it is strongly committed to the safety and protection of all children and young people. We have zero tolerance towards all forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of children and young people, and approach child safeguarding as a shared responsibility by all within our organisation.

The Nossal Institute for Global Health Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy and Code of Conduct outlines the ethical standards, responsibilities, procedures, and practices across the organisation to ensure our child safety framework is embedded in all our activities.
