All schools are required to implement the Child Safe Standards

• On July 1 2022, new Child Safe Standards were introduced. Ministerial Order 1359 provides the framework for child safety in schools. 

  The Child Safe Standards are:

  • 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 that child safety and wellbeing are embedded in school leadership, governance and culture.
  • Child Safe Standard 3 – Children and young people are empowered about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously.
  • Child Safe Standard 4 – Families and communities are informed and involved in promoting child safety and wellbeing.
  • Child Safe Standard 5 – Equity is upheld and diverse needs are respected in policy and practice.
  • Child Safe Standard 6 – 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 that processes for complaints and concerns are child focused.
  • Child Safe Standard 8 – 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 – Physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed.
  • Child Safe Standard 10 – Implementation of the Child Safe Standards is regularly reviewed and improved.
  • Child Safe Standard 11 – Policies and procedures that document how schools are safe for children, young people and students.

At Huntingdale Primary School there is a culture of ‘no tolerance’ for child abuse.

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfill the standard Victorian Curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. We want to thank you for all your support. Your support makes a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.
