Our Clients

Australia is currently undergoing a Child Protection revolution. Emerging risks are challenging child related organisations to maintain safe environments for children. We work with a broad range of clients and help them implement robust systems to protect children.

Child Safeguard has partnered with the City of Sydney, the Australian Swim Schools Association, the Aquatics and Recreation Institute, Austswim and many more in the promotion of Child Protection.
