The Department of Education recognises and supports the diverse needs of all students. This policy is to establish school processes to identify, provide for, monitor and report on students who may be at educational risk.

This policy and procedures outlines for all employees of the Department of Education to follow when travelling on a trip authorised by the Department.

This policy explains what ‘duty of care’ means, how teaching staff may discharge their duty of care to students, and circumstances in which non-teaching staff, external providers and volunteers may owe students a duty of care.

School facilities can be made available for community use. Applications must be approved by the principal and formalised by an agreement signed by the principal and a representative of the user group.

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