Child Safety

Ministerial Order No. 870 (Child Safe Standards)
Ministerial Order No. 870 has been implemented for the purpose of section 4.3.1(6)(d) of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006.
 
The child safe standards are as follows:
In complying with the child safe standards an applicable entity to which the standards apply must include the following principles as part of their response to each standard:
  • promoting the cultural safety of Aboriginal children
  • promoting the cultural safety of children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds
  • promoting the safety of children with a disability.
To create and maintain a child safe organisation, an applicable entity to which the standards apply must have:
  • Standard 1: Strategies to embed an organisational culture of child safety, including   through effective leadership arrangements
  • Standard 2: A child safe policy or statement of commitment to child safety
  • Standard 3: A code of conduct that establishes clear expectations for appropriate behaviour with children
  • Standard 4: Screening, supervision, training & other HR practices that reduce the risk of child abuse by new & existing personnel
  • Standard 5: Processes for responding to and reporting suspected child abuse
  • Standard 6: Strategies to identify and reduce or remove risks of child abuse
  • Standard 7: Strategies to promote the participation and empowerment of children.

St Joseph's School's Child Protection Officer is Mr Joshua McElgunn (Principal).
