STAFF PROCESSES DUTY OF CARE & SUPERVISION “Duty of care” is a legal obligation that requires schools to take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of reasonably foreseeable harm, which can include personal injury (physical or psychological) or damage to property. The reasonable steps that our College may decide to take in response to a potential risk or hazard will depend on the circumstances of the risk. Our College has developed policies and procedures to manage common risks in the school environment, including: • Yard duty and Supervision • Bullying Prevention • Camps and Excursions • First Aid • Tree Maintenance • Grounds Maintenance • Personal Property
Please ensure you upload and attach your medical certificates to your entry on eduPay.
