CHILD SAFE STANDARDS
Children have the right to be safe and protected, including at school.
CHILD SAFE STANDARDS
The Victorian Government has introduced Child Safe Standards for organisations that work with children, including schools.
To create and maintain a child safe organisation, all Victorian schools must comply with Ministerial Order No. 870, in operation from 1 August 2016.
OUR COMMITMENT
Spensley Street Primary School is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. This will be the primary focus of our care and decision-making.
Spensley Street Primary School has zero-tolerance for child abuse.
We are committed to providing a child-safe environment where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Particular attention will be paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability and children who are vulnerable.
Every person involved in Spensley Street Primary School has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role they play individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.
