This page will shortly contain content relevant to the new QFCC Child Safety Guidelines.
What is the Universal Principle?
The Universal Principle is about creating environments that make Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children feel culturally safe, which broadly means welcome, safe, valued, included and respected.
In culturally safe organisations:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples define cultural safety and how it is measured
- workers develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to recognise and address biases and stereotypes, and
- systems are transformed so they work better for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
