Description

[https://publicstorage.dc2.pageuppeople.com/1035/ProviderAsset/664bb334-6aba-4f85-88b7-c37acc84dade.jpg] About the Role The Arch Centres provide a trauma-informed, coordinated response to support victim-survivors of sexual violence in Tasmania through the co-location of multiple service providers. Arch Centres include representatives from Laurel House, Sexual Assault Support Service, Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Department of Health and DECYP. The Children, Young Persons and their Families Act 1997 provides the legal mandate for the department to take action to protect children and young people from abuse and neglect and promote their safety stability and development. Child Safety Workers have a specific statutory role in protecting children and young people from harm and promoting their rights and healthy development. In Tasmania, Child Safety Officers work within a legislative framework, the Child Protection Practice Framework, and the Child Protection Professional Practice Standards (attached). Child Safety Officers have sound self-management skills, self-awareness, and emotional maturity, with the ability to understand the personal impacts of child protection work and strategies for managing stress and building resilience. It is important that Child Safety Officers have the ability to conduct work with integrity and honesty, adhere to confidentiality requirements, and demonstrate a commitment to working with children, young people, and their families. Within the Arch Centres, Child Safety Officers are responsible for receiving, investigating, and assessing notifications concerning children at risk of sexual violence and abuse. The role works collaboratively with families, Police, specialist services, and other professionals to resolve concerns, ensure the safety of children, and provide immediate therapeutic and protective responses. Child Safety Officers jointly triage matters with partner agencies, identify statutory thresholds, and initiate statutory actions when required. In situations involving significant risk, the role may also participate in legal processes and interventions in the Magistrates Court. These roles are located in the South, North and North-West of Tasmania.
