Welcome to Mt Carmel School - Yass
Safeguarding our students
Child safety is the highest priority of Mt Carmel School and of Catholic Education Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn (CECG). We see parents and carers as partners in their children’s educational journey, experience and safeguarding. It is important for us to work collaboratively in response to any safeguarding concerns, subject to the involvement of other agencies, including child protection and police.
As a child safe organisation, we are required to comply with the Child Safe Standards, Mandatory Reporting requirements, and the NSW Working With Children Check scheme.
The Catholic Education Canberra Goulburn Safeguarding Approach to child safeguarding is outlined in our Child Safety Policy. This policy includes the CECG Commitment Statement, the many aspects of child safety, how we ensure young people are safe, and our compliance with the Child Safe Standards.
