Risk assessment tools and templates

Risk assessment tools can help to assess child safety in an organisation's business area, program or service by identifying and measuring risks and inform development of mitigation strategies to measure progress and increase safety for children.

Below are the links to the Office of Children's Guardian (OCG) assessment tools  and templates. The OCG tools may assist organisations to assess their compliance with the Child Safe Standards:

• NSW Office of the Children's Guardian – Self Assessment Tool
• Office of the Children's Guardian – Risk Management.

DCJ contracted service providers can use the Office of the Children’s Guardian Safety Assessment Tool to assist in identifying areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in your organisation's implementation of the NSW Child Safe Standards.
