Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
This Policy provides an overview of DOSCEL’s approach to implementing Ministerial Order No.1359 – Implementing the Child Safe Standards – Managing the Risk of Child Abuse in Schools and School Boarding Premises (Ministerial Order No. 1359), which sets out how the Victorian Child Safe Standards apply in school environments.

POLICY
DOSCEL’s Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
Ministerial Order No. 1359 provides the framework for child safety in schools. In addition to DOSCEL’s Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy, all DOSCEL Schools are required to have a separate Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy.
SAFETY
Each DOSCEL School Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy includes:
- the school’s commitment to child safety
- actions the school will take to ensure a child safe culture is championed and modelled across the school
- governance arrangements the school uses to implement the policy
- processes the school will use to review its child safe practices.
