Child Safety Induction site for Volunteers

Welcome to Eastwood Primary School & Deaf Facility's Child Safety Induction Site for volunteers. Volunteers are an essential support to programs operating at our school. In keeping in line with the Department of Education's policies for supporting Child Safety, this induction package has been put together to ensure you, as a volunteer, understand and successfully meet all child safety obligations when volunteering at our school.

Here, you have been provided with all of the Child Safety Induction information and related policies. Upon reading all of the training induction pack, related policies and by signing the Child Safety Code of Conduct form annually, you are agreeing to understanding your obligations of child safety when volunteering at Eastwood Primary School & Deaf Facility.
