Safeguarding our Students

The College subscribes to the National Principles for a Child Safe Organisation. These principles are based on the Child Safe Standards drawn from the Australian Government’s Royal Commission into the Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
A child safe organisation consciously and systematically:
Creates an environment where children’s safety and wellbeing is the centre of thought, values and actions.
Places emphasis on genuine engagement with and valuing of children.
Creates conditions that reduce the likelihood of harm to children and young people.
Creates conditions that increase the likelihood of identifying harm.
Responds to any concerns, disclosures, allegations of suspicions of harm.
In support of this commitment, policies, procedures and training are in place at Villanova College to effectively address the safety and wellbeing of students in our care.
