Child Safety

The Victorian Government has announced new Child Safe Standards to further strengthen child safety across organisations, through Ministerial Order 1359 which sets out how the Victorian Child Safe Standards apply in school environments.

The new standards recognise the critical importance of families and the broader school community in maintaining and promoting child safety and wellbeing.

All members of our school community have a responsibility to care for children and young people, to positively promote their wellbeing and protect them from any kind of harm or abuse.

The Wooragee Primary School Child Safety policies and procedures demonstrate our school’s commitment to creating and maintaining a child safe and child-friendly organisation, where children and young people are safe and feel safe. They inform our school community of everyone’s obligations to act safely and appropriately towards children and guide our processes and practices for the safety and wellbeing of students across all areas of our work.

Volunteers must be familiar with our policies and procedures relating to child safety and understand the important role they play in maintaining and promoting the safety of our students.
