Safeguarding Wellbeing
The safety, protection and wellbeing of all students is of fundamental importance to the College.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
St Andrew’s has adopted the Anglican Schools Commission – Child Safe Anglican Education Policy and Procedures. This provides the written processes for how we will respond to all matters relating to child safety including allegations of sexual abuse, likely sexual abuse, harm or the risk of harm to a child by another person.
