CHILD PROTECTION PLAN
Our goal is to have an effective child safety system that includes a five pronged approach:
Skillful screening
Robust Policies & Procedures
Police Vetting

Child Protection Plan
Protecting children and vulnerable adults is important to us at Tōtara Springs. We recognise that there are no perfect programs, however, with this CPP we are striving to protect those in our care.

We take the hiring process seriously. We begin screening applicants right from the beginning. Here are the basic steps taken before an applicant is hired:
