The Workplace Bullying policy affirms the Department’s commitment to safe, equitable and non-discriminatory workplaces, and guides employees and line managers in the prevention and effective management of bullying in the workplace.

Public School excursions are undertaken to further students’ learning and social skills development outside their normal school environment. Activities conducted outside the relatively protective environment of the school site involve greater risk. Therefore particular attention must be given to the safety and welfare of all excursion participants.

The Department registers home educators and evaluates their educational programs and children’s progress.

This policy assists staff to respond appropriately where there is a concern for a child’s wellbeing or a disclosure of abuse.
