Child Safety Standards 

The new Child Safety Standards have been examined by St Michael's staff and our School Advisory Council and we have discussed how we can build on and strengthen the child safety policies and practices already in place. The new Child Safety Standards are:

 

Standard 1

Organisations establish a culturally safe environment in which the diverse and unique identities and experiences of Aboriginal children and young people are respected and valued.

 

Standard 2

Child safety and wellbeing is embedded in organisational leadership, governance and culture.

 

Standard 3

Children and young people are empowered about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously.

 

Standard 4

Families and communities are informed and involved in promoting child safety and wellbeing.

 

Standard 5

Equity is upheld and diverse needs respected in policy and practice.

 

Standard 6

People working with children and young people are suitable and supported to reflect child safety and wellbeing values in practice.

 

Standard 7

Processes for complaints and concerns are child-focused.

 

Standard 8

Staff and volunteers are equipped with the knowledge, skills and awareness to keep children and young people safe through ongoing education and training.

 

Standard 9

Physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed.

 

Standard 10

Implementation of the Child Safe Standards is regularly reviewed and improved.

 

Standard 11

Policies and procedures document how the organisation is safe for children and young people.
