The Learning Co-operative is committed to promoting child safety, children's wellbeing and protecting children from abuse. This is achieved by implementing the 11 child safety standards outlined in Ministerial Order 1359. The Learning Co-operative is committed to accommodating the needs of all children (including but not limited to, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with disabilities, and children who are vulnerable) when creating a child safe environment. All staff, parents, volunteers, visitors and contractors must comply with the Learning Co-operative child safety code of conduct, child safety and wellbeing policy and related policies and procedures, uphold the overarching principles and values set out, and take all reasonable steps to promote the safety of children.

We are a Culturally Safe School

​

At the Learning Co-operative, we welcome children from a diversity of backgrounds. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing and positive space where children from all cultures, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, and their families can comfortably express their culture, spirituality and belief systems, and feel supported by a community who respect their culture and encourage expressions of cultural identity. Racism is not tolerated at the Learning Co-operative, and we have policies and procedures to ensure racism is identified, confronted and addressed immediately.
