Respectful Behaviour

Respectful Behaviours within the School Community Policy

Principals can now issue School Community Safety Orders as a legislative scheme to protect the school community from harmful, threatening or abusive behaviour from parents, carers and other adults. 

Violence and aggression towards school staff from parents, carers or other adults can have a significant impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of the staff who experience it, and their colleagues. 

The Department of Education has released a new policy that describes the positive behaviour expected from parents, carers, and other adults in Victorian school communities. The policy sets clear standards of behaviour to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for students, staff and adults.

You can find the new policy and these resources here: https://www.vic.gov.au/creating-safer-school-communities
