Child safety and wellbeing at Jackson School: information for families and the school community
Jackson School is a child safe community. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which our school is situated, the Wurundjeri (Woi Wurrung) peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Wominjeka!
Jackson School is committed to providing an environment where students are safe and feel safe.
Our child safety framework https://newsletters.naavi.com/i/pNpVrpM/child-safe-standards/page/cover explains how we support and maintain child safety and wellbeing at Jackson School. It includes our:
- Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
- Child Safety Reporting and Responding Obligations Procedures, and
- Child Safety Code of Conduct, which outlines acceptable and unacceptable behaviours for all staff and volunteers at our school.
Our students and families are important partners in providing a child safe environment. These regular newsletter reminders are one of the ways we ensure our school community is aware of:
- our commitment to child safety, and
- how to provide feedback or raise child safety concerns.
