Wellbeing & Child Safe Standards

All Saints Parish School holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility. This commitment is drawn from and inherent to the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ, with love, justice and the sanctity of each human person at the heart of the Gospel.
 
All Saints Parish School has a universal expectation for the protection of children. It is resolutely committed to ensuring that all those engaged in Catholic education in Victoria promote the inherent dignity of children and young people and their fundamental right to be respected and nurtured in a safe school environment. This is particularly so for the most vulnerable children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and children with a disability.
 
The School staff, volunteers, and external contractors are expected to actively contribute to a school culture that respects the dignity of its members and affirms the Gospel values of love, care for others, compassion and justice. They are required to observe child safe principles and expectations for appropriate behaviour towards and in the company of children.
 
 
All Saints Parish School has a moral, legal and mission-driven responsibility to create nurturing school environments where children and young people are respected, their voices are heard and where they are safe and feel safe. When allegations of abuse concerning children and young people are raised, we will take prompt action to have these appropriately referred and investigated.
 
 
To raise any issues concerning Child Safety please contact our Child Safety Officer Christine McMahon on 55233654 or email cmcmahon@asportland.catholic.edu.au

National Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD)

​All schools and approved authorities for schools in Australia participate in the NCCD annually. The NCCD collects data about school students with a disability across Australia in a consistent, reliable and systematic way.
Such students will be receiving reasonable adjustments from the school so that they are able to participate in education on the same basis as other students, as required by the Disability Standards for Education.
The data for the NCCD is submitted to the department as at the reference date of the first Friday in August.
​The collection of data for the NCCD is based on the professional judgement of teachers. Teachers determine the level of adjustments provided to students with disability to access and participate in education on the same basis as other students.

A detailed description at Appendix 2. Levels of adjustment.
Such adjustments help ensure schools meet their obligations under the:
 Disability Discrimination Act 19929 (the DDA)
 Disability Standards for Education 200510 (the Standards).

Data collected through the NCCD is used:
 to support evidence-based policy development and future planning related to school students with disability.
 to inform Australian Government recurrent funding for schools, specifically through the Commonwealth share of the Schooling Resource Standard and the annual student with disability loading
 for national reporting related to schools
