Child safety and wellbeing at Lilydale Heights College: information for families and the school community

Lilydale Heights College is committed to providing an environment where students are safe and feel safe.    Our child safety framework explains how we support and maintain child safety and wellbeing at Lilydale Heights College. It includes our:

• Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy

• Child Safety Reporting and Responding Obligations Procedures, and

• Child Safety Code of Conduct, which outlines acceptable and unacceptable behaviours for all staff and volunteers at our school.

Our students and families are important partners in providing a child safe environment. These regular newsletter reminders are one of the ways we ensure our school community is aware of:

• our commitment to child safety, and

• how to provide feedback or raise child safety concerns.

If you have any concerns about child safety at any time, please contact a member of the Principal Team on 9735 1133. Any child safety complaints or concerns are treated seriously. For more information about our school’s complaints process, see our Complaints Policy.     

We also welcome your ideas on ways we can improve our approach to child safety and wellbeing. If you have any suggestions or comments please contact Matt Donald, Assistant Principal, on 9735 1133 or at Matthew.Donald@education.vic.gov.au
