Safe Schools
The National Safe Schools Week is an active, innovative and whole school oriented week-long event encompassing the concepts of caring, supporting and looking out for others. The Australian Government is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all members of the school community are protected.
The week is an Australian Government initiative, run in collaboration with State and Territory Governments, which aims to:
- Showcase the good work school communities are undertaking implementing the National Safe Schools Framework
- Raise community awareness of the importance of all members of a school community having the right to learn or teach in a safe and supportive environment, free from all forms of bullying, harassment, violence, abuse and neglect
- Build on national initiatives to support the National Safe Schools Framework
The Safeschoolsweek website provides information for students, parents and teachers.
