Safeguarding Children
At The Hutchins School we consider the health, safety and wellbeing of all children and young people to be our highest priority. We are dedicated to protecting the children and young people in our community and have undertaken training and policy development with the Australian Childhood Foundation Safeguarding Children and Young People Program.
Mr Benjamin Searle is the School’s Safeguarding Children and Young People Co-ordinator and also the Policy and Compliance Manager. He can be contacted at benjamin.searle@hutchins.tas.edu.au.
Our safeguarding children policies are regularly reviewed and endorsed by the School Board. These policies underpin the broader School policy body and state the School’s strong commitment to the protection of children and young people. The key policies in safeguarding children are:
- Code of Conduct
- Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy
- Practice and Behaviour Standards
- Safeguarding Children Reporting Policy
