Child Safety Policy

Jump Left | Art.Co.Lab understands that safety and respect for all are essential aspects of our workplace culture. Our Child Safety Policy outlines our commitment to the safety and well-being of children and young people. This policy is guided by the Child Safe Standards and the Child Wellbeing and Safety Act 2005, which recognise that all children are vulnerable and that organisations are responsible for keeping them safe. The Child Safe Standards aim to allow us to deliver our services in a safe environment and provide parents and carers with confidence in Jump Left’s culture and workplace. To learn more, visit the Australian Institute of Family Studies, ‘Australian Child Protection Legislation’. All Jump Left staff, volunteers and contractors have current Working with Children Checks.

Communications Policy

Jump Left provides documents in several alternative formats to ensure accessibility. We acknowledge that terminology can impact a person’s identity, well-being and inherent dignity. We also recognise that language evolves and can be contested. As a general rule, we begin with ‘person-first’ language at Jump Left, and will shift language focus between ‘person-first’ and ‘identity-first’, depending on individual preference. Please let us know if you prefer that we use different language when communicating with you. To learn more, visit the Victorian Government’s State Disability Plan, ‘Person-first and identity-first language’ page.

Disability Inclusion Policy

Jump Left supports the social model of disability, where societal barriers cause disability, and strives for disability inclusion based on solidarity and disability justice. Our work is accessible, inclusive, and anti-ableist, reducing obstacles for disabled people. Disability inclusion goes beyond compliance, recognising that disabled people face multiple intersecting barriers. To learn more, visit the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) and the Victorian Government’s State Disability Plan, ‘The social model of disability’ pages. You can read more on our website here.
