Statement of Commitment to Child Safety
Surf Coast Secondary College is a child safe organisation which welcomes all children, young people and their families.
We are committed to providing environments where our students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Our child safe policies, strategies and practices are inclusive of the needs of all children and students. We have no tolerance for child abuse and take proactive steps to identify and manage any risks of harm to students in our school environments. We promote positive relationships between students and adults and between students and their peers. These relationships are based on trust and respect.
We are committed to regularly reviewing our child safe practices, and seeking input from our students, families, staff, and volunteers to inform our ongoing strategies.
Our child safe policies can be located on the college website here.
Students and their families should be aware in particular of the SCSC Childsafe Reporting and Responding Obligations and Procedures Policy and Complaints Policy, should you have any concerns about the safety of a young person.
