Parent Information > Policies
The Kangaroo Island Children's Services operate under a set of Policies and Procedures. Our policies and practices reflect our philosophy statement and determines what happens for management, staff, parent/guardians and children so consultation with parents and staff in developing policies is very thorough.
Policies and procedures are being continuously developed, reviewed and implemented to ensure that requirements around regulations and accreditation are met. The staff at KICS prides themself on providing high quality care and education across all services. The policies and procedures are documents for staff to ensure that there is fair and consistent practice and to provide guidance and support around decision making.
Policies provide us with guidelines to ensure we meet 'best practice'. They are also necessary to provide information regarding service practices for parents/guardians.
