Child Safety
Traffic
Traffic is ONE WAY until 9:00am.
One way traffic ensures the safety of pedestrians and in particular our students.
Water Bottles
Students need to bring a water bottle filled with clean fresh water every day.
We ask that water bottles are plastic NOT metal.
Be ON Time
We are back to a NORMAL start time.
Start time is 8:50am.
Students can arrive as early as 8:25am but MUST be here by 8:50am.
Arriving after 8:50am is LATE!
Late impacts
- student learning
- disrupts the classroom
- puts your child at a disadvantage
- creates anxiety
Child Information Sharing Scheme and the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme
The Information Sharing Schemes were introduced in response to Royal Commissions, coronial inquests and independent inquiries over the past decade that identified poor information sharing as a barrier to service collaboration with detrimental outcomes for children and families. The Information Sharing Schemes will enable schools and other prescribed Information Sharing Entities (ISE) to access and share relevant information to promote the wellbeing and safety of children, and to assess and manage family violence risk.
Phase One of implementation of the Schemes commenced in September 2018 and included key tertiary and frontline services, such as Child Protection, Maternal and Child Health Services and Victoria Police. From 19 April 2021, as part of Phase Two, universal services such as education and health will be authorised to share information using the Schemes. On and from this date, DOSCEL and its schools, Victorian government, non-government schools and centre-based education and care services, such as long day care, kindergarten and outside school hours care services, will be prescribed as ISE under the Child Information Sharing Scheme and the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme and will have an expanded ability to collaborate and share confidential information with other authorised professionals.
The Information Sharing Schemes complement and expand upon existing information sharing and child protection laws and do not replace already existing authorisation to share information such as the Child Safe Standards, reporting to Child Protection or Victoria Police, the Reportable Conduct Scheme and other privacy and information sharing laws.
From the commencement of Term 2 2021, DOSCEL and its schools will also become Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management Framework (MARAM) organisations and will be required to align to MARAM over time.
