CHILD SAFE STANDARDS
Victorian schools are required under the Child Safety and Wellbeing Act to ensure that they implement compulsory child safe standards to protect students from harm. Polish School in Albion is committed to child safety.
The Child Safe Standards set out to create safe places for students to fully and actively participate in the life of the community benefiting everyone. Polish School in Albion will ensure that the students in its care are protected to the best of its ability and in line with their duty of care and the compulsory child safe standards.
As a community we want students to be safe, happy and empowered. We support and respect all students, as well as our staff and volunteers. We are committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all students. There is zero tolerance of child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated very seriously and consistently with our policies and procedures.
The 11 Child Safe Standards are:
1. Culturally safe environments

5. Diversity & equity
6. Suitable staff & volunteers
7. Complaints processes
