Child Safe Standards

At Heidelberg Primary School we believe that all children have the right to be safe and protected, especially at school. To ensure this we have adopted child safe standards, which document our approach to preventing and responding to child abuse, and create a culture where protecting children from abuse is part of everyday thinking and practice.¹
