Children at The Discovery House

Our commitment to child safety is guided by the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, the UN Rights of the Child, and the standards set by the Office of the Children’s Guardian. Every educator at The Discovery House is trained in child protection so this promise is lived every day, not just written down.
