Children in the workplace: Workers must balance care responsibilities with safety and productivity. Policies ensure children are supervised and environments remain professional.

Complaints management: Effective systems protect workers from unfair treatment, provide accountability, and improve service quality. Poor handling can increase stress and reduce trust.

Codes of conduct / codes of practice: These set clear expectations for ethical behaviour, confidentiality, and professional standards. They guide decision‑making and protect both workers and clients.

Hope this helps!
