Safety House Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Safety House Program is a national Australian community based and funded program designed for the safety of children while in transit to and from school. Houses and businesses are selected as safe places for children to seek shelter and safety if required. Applicants must undergo criminal history checks and other checks by the organisation.
History
The program was established in North Dandenong, Victoria, Australia in 1979.[1] New South Wales took up the program in April, 1984.
