YNOT is committed to supporting, enhancing and upholding the safety, wellbeing and empowerment of all children and young people. YNOT aims to drive positive change with young people aged 12-25 years and the youth sector in Tasmania. 

We will do this by...

1. Creating a culturally safe space.

• For Aboriginal children and young people, so they can enjoy their right to self-determination, identity and culture.
• For children and young people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, by accepting, respecting and welcoming the difference between and within cultures. 

2. Striving for a Tasmania where all young people are valued.

• Celebrating diversity, valuing inclusion and recognising the individual value of all young people. 
• Ensuring all young people from vulnerable communities are supported to access open choices and opportunities. 

3. Ensuring child and youth safety is championed throughout our organisation.

• Embedding child and youth safety throughout policies, practices and staff conduct. 
• Ensuring our staff are knowledgeable and competent in supporting child and youth safety. 
• Seeking input and guidance from young people for key decisions and program design. 
• Providing young people with opportunities to give us feedback and suggestions to improve what we do.
