Child Safety
(Back to top)City of Parramatta Libraries are committed to safeguarding children’s wellbeing by adopting strategies and acting to put the interests of children first to keep them safe from harm.
Parents and guardians are responsible for their children’s behaviour, wellbeing, and care, including while using the Library’s services, facilities, Internet, and while attending programs. If Council becomes aware of any unaccompanied children that could be considered at risk in a public space or who become disruptive in their use of the Library, Council will attempt to contact parents or guardians in the first instance. Library workers also have duty to report potentially at-risk children to appropriate authorities.
