Child Safety and Wellbeing at Charlton College

At Charlton College, we are committed to providing a child-safe and child-friendly environment where every student is protected, supported, and feels safe at all times.

Our Child Safety and Wellbeing policies outline the measures, strategies, and practices we have in place to promote and maintain the safety, wellbeing, and inclusion of all students within our school community.

We recognise that families and carers play an important role in supporting child safety. As valued partners, we welcome and encourage your feedback on our child safety policies and practices.

If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions regarding child safety and wellbeing at Charlton College, please contact the Principal on (03) 5491 1280 or via email at charlton.p12@education.vic.gov.au.
