Child Safe Standards 

Kyabram P-12 College is a Child Safe school, committed to the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all children and young people. We want children attending our school to be safe, happy and respected. 

 

Child Safety includes matters relating to the protection of all children by understanding risks and providing support. 

 

Our school community can help us by looking over our Child Safe policies on our college website including, our Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy, our Child Safety Induction pack for Volunteers, the Child Safety Responding and Reporting Obligations Policy and Procedures and our Child Safety Code of Conduct.
