Child safety and wellbeing at Laverton P-12 College: information for families and the school community

Laverton P-12 College has zero tolerance for child abuse. We are committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people are safe, feel safe, and are empowered to have their voices heard about decisions that affect their lives.

Particular attention is paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Our school values of learning, belonging and succeeding underpin our approach to building a child safe organisation where students are safe, respectful, responsible and resilient. Every person involved in our school community has a responsibility — individually and collectively — to keep the wellbeing and safety of children and young people at the forefront of all they do.
