  • Child Safe Standards

Whittington Primary School is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people, including Aboriginal children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and children with a disability. This will be the primary focus of our care and decision-making.

Whittington Primary School has zero tolerance for child abuse.

Whittington Primary School is committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Particular attention will be paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Every person involved in Whittington Primary School has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/she plays individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.

In complying with the Child Safe Standards, Whittington PS will:

    Child Safe Standard 1 – establish a culturally safe environment in which the diverse and unique identities and experiences of Aboriginal children and young people are respected and valued

    Child Safe Standard 2 – ensure child safety and wellbeing is embedded in organisational leadership, governance and culture

    Child Safe Standard 3 – ensure children and young people are empowered about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously

    Child Safe Standard 4 – ensure families and communities are informed, and involved in promoting child safety and wellbeing

    Child Safe Standard 5 – ensure equity is upheld and diverse needs respected in policy and practice

    Child Safe Standard 6 – ensure people working with children and young people are suitable and supported to reflect child safety and wellbeing values in practice

    Child Safe Standard 7 – ensure processes for complaints and concerns are child focused

    Child Safe Standard 8 – ensure staff and volunteers are equipped with the knowledge, skills and awareness to keep children and young people safe through ongoing education and training

    Child Safe Standard 9 – ensure physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed

    Child Safe Standard 10 – ensure the implementation of the Child Safe Standards are regularly reviewed and improved

    Child Safe Standard 11 – ensure policies and procedures document how our organisation is safe for children and young people.
