“Human resource management, through screening, recruitment and ongoing performance review can play an important role in protecting children from harm. Child-focused human resource practices help screen out people unsuitable for working with children or discourage their application.  Such practices make sure child safety is prioritised in advertising, recruiting, employment screening, and selecting and managing staff and volunteers. During induction processes, all staff and volunteers should be given clear conduct and behavioural guidelines, such as a code of conduct. Child safe institutions recognise that Working With Children checks can detect only a subset of people who are unsuitable to work with children, and that these checks should be part of a suite of screening practices” (Royal Commission, 2017).
