Protecting Children
A Summary of JCC’s Child Protection Policies and Procedures
Every young person has a right to FEEL SAFE, and to BE SAFE from harm.
No one who works or volunteers with our school should ever harm a Young Person.
If a Worker at JCC hears that a Young Person has been, is being, or is likely to be harmed (Physically or Sexually), the LAW says we MUST report this Harm.
If someone feels that a Worker or Volunteer is, or has been causing them or a Young Person HARM, they need to tell one of the Co-Principals – David Powell or Frances Missen. They can do this by phoning the college on 07 3554 1799 and asking to speak with a Co-Principal.
If a Worker or Volunteer hears about HARM that a young person has experienced, or is experiencing, they must tell a Co-Principal – David Powell or Frances Missen.
If the HARM is or was Sexual Abuse, the school must write a report and notify the Police.
If the HARM is or was Physical Abuse, the school must write a report and notify The Department responsible for Child Safety.
