Safeguarding Statement
St Bede’s College strives to be a place of safety, and we believe safeguarding is a shared responsibility of all, for all. We are resolutely committed to our moral, legal, and mission-driven responsibility to ensure that all College staff, including employees, Board members, committee members, contractors, volunteers, and clergy, act in a manner that promotes the inherent dignity of each of our students and their fundamental right to be respected, heard, and nurtured in a safe school environment. All College staff must uphold and demonstrate through their actions and interactions the duty of care we have towards all children, young people, and adults at risk. Accordingly, a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse or safety violations is expected and enforced.
Please refer to the policies listed below.
