Preventing and Addressing Racism in Schools
In line with Child Safe Standard 1 and Child Safe Standard 5, all Victorian government schools must actively prevent and respond to racism, and report incidents to the department.
This policy covers 3 key actions:
- preventing racism: schools must maintain culturally safe and inclusive environments
- responding to racism: schools must have clear, timely, safe and inclusive processes to respond to incidents of racism
- reporting racism: schools must report incidents of racism in eduSafe Plus, as per the Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies) policy. https://www2.education.vic.gov.au/pal/reporting-and-managing-school-incidents-including-emergencies/policy
This policy applies to all Victorian government school staff, external practitioners, contractors, and volunteers working with students.
Racism is not tolerated in Victorian government schools. Racism has significant detrimental impacts on mental health, learning, and engagement, and contributes to disadvantage and isolation of young people. If you would like to further discuss this policy, please contact the office at Hampton East School where you will be direct to a member of our Principal Class Team.
