Child protection
Kempsey Families’ staff are mandatory reporters.
This means they MUST lodge a report to Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) if they know or suspect that a child or young person is at risk of significant harm.
Your information
Kempsey Families Inc. is committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.
However, we provide statistics to the government to help them create future programs and provide funding.
The data we send them does NOT include your name and is combined with other clients’ data- so it is anonymous and used for statistical purposes only.
If you do not give your consent, you will still receive the same level of service from Kempsey Families.
