Resurrection School has active supervision, support and training mechanisms in place to develop the skills and knowledge of our staff and volunteers; we monitor the behaviour and performance of all individuals working with children. We continuously examine the ways in which we work so that we can identify potential risks to the safety of children and develop responses to eliminate risks. Resurrection School promotes confidential reporting that respects individual privacy. We maintain records of child safety issues. Our school provides a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment in which all students may flourish.

Child Safe Standard 9

Child safety in physical and online environments

Ensure that physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children, young people and students to be harmed.

 

To effectively build safe, inclusive and respectful learning environments, school leaders and staff must purposefully collaborate with students, families, and their physical and online communities to co-create an explicit safety and wellbeing agenda and commitment (Catholic Education Melbourne 2018). Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) recognises school environments extend beyond the school grounds and commits to ensuring child safety is considered in all interactions.
