St.Giles is among the first 10 organisations that are a part of the Tell Someone Network.
The Tell Someone Network brings organisations across Tasmania together to help keep children and young people safe and is part of the Tasmanian Government’s approach to preventing and responding to child sexual abuse and grooming.
The Network supports organisations to raise awareness and take action so that:
- Children and young people feel safe to speak up
- Adults know how to listen, believe and respond
- Communities support children and young people when they need help
St.Giles and fellow organisations in the Tell Someone Network aim to:
- Create environments where children and young people feel safe to speak up
- Support adults, including staff and the broader community, to better understand, identify and respond to signs of child sexual abuse and grooming
Build confidence for staff to listen, believe and act when a child or young person raises a concern
- Share clear and consistent messages, including how to talk with children and young people about safety
- Promote safe, open conversations so children and young people know they will be listened to and supported
- And to build a culture where children and young people are believed and taken seriously.
