Wellbeing & Safeguarding

On the 1st July 2022, the Victorian Government introduced Eleven Child Safe Standards which include requirements to:  

• involve families and communities in organisations’ efforts to keep children and young people safe  
• provide greater focus on safety for Aboriginal children and young people 
• manage the risk of child abuse in online environments. 

These Standards provide greater clarity and practical steps for each Standard. They outline what action organisations need to take to keep children and young people safe. Under Victorian law St. Bernards’s has a legal obligation to comply with the 11 Child Safe Standards
