Child Safeguarding

All children and young people who come to St Paul's College have a right to feel and be safe. We are committed to providing a child safe and child-friendly environment, where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and are able to actively participate in decisions that affect their lives.

We have a zero tolerance for child abuse and other harm and are committed to acting in students’ best interests and keeping them safe from harm.

The College regards its child safeguarding responsibilities with the utmost importance and as such, is committed to providing the necessary resources to ensure compliance with all relevant child protection laws and regulations and maintaining a child safe culture.

Each member of the College community has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role that they play individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all students is at the forefront of all that they do and every decision that they make.

If you have any question or queries about any aspect of Child Safety, please do not hesitate to contact the College. Similarly, please visit the Child Safeguarding website from Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA, our College’s governing body) or Catholic Education SA for more information:
