Safe Places for Children

Safe Places for Children is a not-for-profit organisation that provides young people at risk with intensive therapeutic support and supervision in a homely and welcoming residential care setting. Since 2006, we have grown our operations from a small but passionate group of youth workers, to an organisation of local teams dedicated to supporting vulnerable young people across Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. We have made a difference in the lives of more than 1,800 young people ranging in age from 10 to 17 years, who exhibit complex emotional and behavioural problems. Our values guide our professional practice, our internal operations and our relationships with stakeholders. - Being united is about sharing and working toward a common vision - Being supportive is about really listening and real leadership - Being responsive is about proactively and therapeutically engaging people where they are - Being passionate means getting excited about other people's strengths - Being professional is the integrity of matching words, actions and context
