Our Commitment to Child Safety

At ONIX Media Pty Ltd (trading as ONIX), we are committed to the safety and well-being of all children who engage with our services. Child safety is at the core of our mission and is embedded in every part of our operations.

 

Our Approach to Child Safety

1. Transparency and Integrity

   • Every ONIX team member holds a valid, government-approved Working with Children Check (WWCC), and we maintain a centralised electronic database to ensure these clearances are current.

   • We conduct thorough reference checks from previous employers before permanent or casual staff members begin their employment with us.

   • Our operations are built on open and honest communication, ensuring that all practices and processes are transparent and adhere to ethical standards.

2. Child Protection Policies

   • ONIX upholds stringent child protection policies to ensure children are always safeguarded in our care and create a secure environment for their engagement.

   • All team members can access child safety resources on our internal platform, ensuring they are well-equipped to maintain safety protocols.

3. Inclusive and Respectful Environment

   • We create a respectful, inclusive environment that values the diverse backgrounds and needs of all children and their families.

4. Continuous Improvement

   • Our child safety protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to align with best practices, feedback, and any legal updates.

 

Child Engagement and Support

1. Personalised Attention

   • ONIX ensures that children are always adequately supervised and that our services align with the National Child Safe Standards.

   • Team members in day-to-day control of our operations undergo child protection training to maintain the highest level of vigilance.

   • To maintain clear professional boundaries, we do not permit team members to engage in child care outside the professional setting (e.g., babysitting).

2. Responsive Communication

   • Our team remains accessible to address any child safety concerns or queries promptly and efficiently.

   • ONIX has appointed Safety Champions within the organisation who advocate and implement best practices, including child safety measures.

3. Proactive Problem-Solving

   • We actively identify and address potential safety risks to ensure children have a secure and positive experience with our services.

   • Specialist Safety and Compliance teams continuously monitor and refine our safety practices to uphold the highest standards.

 

Ethical Content Creation

1. Age-appropriate and Quality Content

   • At ONIX, we produce high-quality, age-appropriate content that supports children’s well-being and development.

2. Ethical Advertising

   • Our advertising practices adhere to ethical guidelines, focusing on truthful representation and meaningful engagement with young audiences.

 

By prioritising child safety, ONIX fosters a protective and trustworthy environment, supporting the development and well-being of children through ethical, transparent, and secure practices.
