On Friday 5 June, all College staff participated in a Staff Development day that involved training and professional development in the following important areas:

EREA Child Safeguarding Standards Framework

Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) has developed a Child Safeguarding Standards Framework (the EREA Child Safeguarding Standards) to enhance the way that each EREA school creates and maintains a child safe environment. The Standards aim to further develop a culture within each EREA school wherein protecting children and young people from abuse and other harm, and the promotion of child safety, participation, empowerment and wellbeing, is embedded in the everyday thinking and practice of leaders, staff, and volunteers.

This course is designed to assist each EREA school to comply with the EREA Child Safeguarding Standards. This course provides a description, articulates the rationale, outlines the core components and stipulates Implementation Outcomes for each Standard.
