CHAC Policies to keep our students safe
Statement of Commitment to the Protection of Children and Young People
Cannon Hill Anglican College supports the rights of children and young people and is committed to ensuring the safety, welfare and wellbeing of students. Cannon Hill Anglican College is therefore committed to responding to allegations of student harm resulting from the conduct or actions of any person, including that of employees.
This commitment includes the provision of a safe and supportive living and learning environment for all students and requires all employees, volunteers and visitors to model and encourage behaviour that upholds the dignity of students and their protection from harm.
In support of this commitment, Cannon Hill Anglican College is dedicated to our Child and Youth Risk Management strategy which includes having relevant policies, procedures and training in place to effectively address the safety and wellbeing of students in our care.
