The Victorian Child Safe Standards are a set of 11 minimum requirements that all organisations working with children must meet. These standards are designed to:
• Prevent child abuse and harm
• Make child safety a shared responsibility
• Support the wellbeing of all children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and children with disabilities
• Promote the participation and empowerment of children and young people
These standards apply to all school staff, volunteers, contractors, and anyone working with children in schools.
Our Commitment Our commitment to the protection of students is enabled through nurturing a respectful and safe community where the uniqueness and sacred dignity of every young person are celebrated, and they can flourish in their learning and development. This vision is driven by the Gospel message of love, justice and abundance, beautifully reflected in the words of John: ‘’I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full’’ (Jn 10:10)
The Parent & Carers Newsletter provide detailed information about each of the the 11 Child Safety Standards
