Child Safe Guideline

Child Safe Standards resources are available at this link www.vrqa.vic.gov.au/childsafe

The Victorian Government now requires all community language schools which have direct contact with children to implement the Child Safe Standards by 1st January, 2017.

Under legislation, all community language schools must comply with the Child Safe Standards. The purpose of the Child Safe Standards is to prevent abuse of children by making organisations safer for children. So that children at community language schools can feel safe and be safe, responsibility for child safety should be understood and accepted by everyone in the organisation.

For information on the Child Safe Standards see:                                               https://ccyp.vic.gov.au/child-safety/being-a-child-safe-organisation and,   https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/principals/spag/safety/Pages/childsafestandards.aspx

Child Safe Standards aim to prevent any physical, sexual and emotional abuse or neglect of children.

Our school Principal, Yali SHAO is the nominated “Child Safe Officer” together with our School Council and Director of Studies, Philip CHUI have the responsibility to implement policies and required procedures for our school to achieve these standards. Our school will commit to comply with these Child Safe Standards and Code of Conduct providing the support needed to assist you to meet these standards.
