Many organisations believe that, 'as long as we all have a blue card, the children will be fine!' 

The blue card itself is only one part of the blue card system. Organisations regulated by the blue card system must have clear policies in place to ensure children in their service environment are safe and protected from harm. This is all part of an organisation's legal requirement to have a Child and Youth Risk Management Strategy.

The blue card system aims to create safe and supportive service environments where children and young people can receive services and participate in activities essential to their development and wellbeing.

Organisations and sole traders who run businesses regulated by the blue card system must have a Child and youth risk management strategy (the strategy) to help create a safe and supportive environment for children.
