With the requirement for Independent Schools to implement the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, this session will look at these Principles from a specific WA Independent School perspective and include the 2020 registration standards.
This training focuses on schools developing a culture of safety by implementing the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. These Principles have been developed as a result of the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and cover all aspects of a child safe culture and community. This professional learning should be attended by the people in your school who will be responsible for managing the implementation of the National Principles ensuring that they are well embedded in your school’s processes.
This implementation requires whole school community involvement and is the flagship of your school's culture of safety. It is strongly recommended that before attending this course that participants complete the National Principles e-learning modules. https://childsafe.humanrights.gov.au/learning-hub/e-learning-modules
Comprehensive implementation and continued fulfillment of the National Principles not only
satisfies Standard 10.1 but also assists in the mitigation of a significant area of risk, from a
child safety perspective as well as school reputation.
