Child Safe Standards

Child Safe Standard 2:  Child safety and wellbeing is embedded in organisational leadership, governance and culture.

At St Anthony's, we ensure the implementation of Standards, by complying in the following minimum requirements:

• The organisation makes public commitment to child safety
• A child safe culture is championed and modeled at all levels from top down and bottom up
• Governance arrangements facilitate implementation of child safety and wellbeing policy at all levels
• A Code of Conduct provides for staff and volunteers 
• Risk management strategies focus on preventing, identifying and mitigating risks to children and young people. 
• Staff and volunteers understand their obligations on information sharing and record keeping. 

What this means for our school context: The following are some of the ways we ensure we are complying to the standard:

•  All staff have current Police Checks
• All volunteers must have a current Working With Children Check
• Code of Conduct is competed for all volunteers 
• Volunteers have an induction when attending any excursions acting as volunteers
• All external providers must have current Working With Children Check and professionals must provide evidence of qualifications
• All trades personnel must have a current Working With Children Check and enter into an agreement with the school demonstrating the capabilities of their trade
• All staff, volunteers, external providers,  and trades personnel must sign in and out on the school's tracking Passtab system
