Child Safety Standards at Templestowe College
Templestowe College is committed to promoting and protecting the interests and safety of all our students.
TC ensures that the people who care for our students act in their best interests and take all reasonable steps to provide a safe and secure school environment. We have zero tolerance for child abuse.
Every staff member at TC is responsible for the care and protection of children and reporting information about child abuse. The College has a duty of care to provide safe, open and supportive environments that protect our students.
Creating child-safe school environments is a dynamic process that involves active participation and responsibility by TC, families and our community. It is marked by collaboration, vigilance and proactive approaches across policies, procedures, curriculum and practices.
Every person involved in the Templestowe College community has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role they play individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people are at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.
