Child Safety and Wellbeing
New Social Media Regulations - SchoolTV Resource
SchoolTV have published a special report focusing on the new social media regulations.
These new regulations provide an opportunity to talk openly with your child about their online experiences and what these changes mean for them. It's also a chance to review family technology habits, reinforce healthy routines, and explore age-appropriate ways for young people to connect, learn and express themselves.
This Special Report explains what the new laws mean in practice and offers practical guidance to help families prepare for the upcoming changes.

Child Safe Information
St Brigid’s College holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility. Central to the mission of our Catholic schools in Horsham – St Brigid’s College and Ss Michael & John’s Primary School - is an absolute commitment to fostering the dignity, self-esteem and integrity of children and young people and providing them with a safe, supportive and enriching environment to develop spiritually, physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
Our school is committed to promoting a respectful, safe, and supportive learning environment characterised by tolerance and support; and one which also respects the principle of right relationship where people have a healthy respect for the dignity of each other. Part of this commitment involves ensuring the school community has access to processes that allow for grievances to be managed appropriately, promptly, respectfully, and fairly.
Our school Grievance Policy is published on our website. When raising a grievance with the school, a member of the school community can expect to:
- be treated with respect and courtesy
- have their grievance taken seriously and considered impartially
- have their grievance dealt with in a confidential and timely manner
- have access to appropriate and easily understandable information regarding the grievance resolution process being followed by our school
- be supported during the grievance handling process, with a focus on maintaining the emotional wellbeing of any students involved
- be kept informed of the progress and outcome of the grievance
- not be victimised, or subjected to reprisal, for raising grievances in good faith
All our Child Safety Policies can be viewed on our website. As valuable partners in promoting and maintaining child safety and wellbeing at our school, we welcome and encourage your feedback.
All of our policies and procedures are available to our school community in hard copy by request from the School Office.
