Child Safe Program
Seventh-day Adventist Schools Tasmania have made child safety a priority in its response to the new Child Safe Standards.
There are 6 public facing documents on our website that share the child safe responsibilities and expectations across our school and college communities. These 6 documents form our Child Safe Program.
There is an overarching Child Safe Policy driving the other processes and procedures in our schools and colleges.
Within these documents, you will find codes of conduct and professional boundaries for adults and staff as well as a code of conduct for students.
These documents provide the platform for any member of the school or college community to respond to and report a child safe incident or concern. It also provides guidance on how to manage child safe complaints.
With these six public facing documents the school or college community will know what is appropriate and acceptable in relation to child safe matters.
