Child Safe Anglican Education and Policies

Anglican Schools and Education & Care Services are committed to providing environments where children and young people receive the highest standard of care, where their rights are supported, and they have the opportunity to thrive and be fruitful.  

Child Safe Statement of Commitment

At Toowoomba Anglican school, the safety, wellbeing, and dignity of every child is at the heart of all we do. We believe that every child has the right to feel safe, be safe, and thrive in an environment that nurtures their growth and values their voice.

As part of the Anglican Schools community, we proudly uphold the Child Safe Anglican Education Policy, which guides our actions to protect and care for children. This policy supports us in:

· Promoting children's safety, wellbeing, and best interests

· Preventing, detecting, and responding to reasonable suspicions of harm

· Applying the Child Safe Standards and the Universal Principle across our school community

By following this policy, schools and ECS are supported to meet relevant mandated requirements.
