The Olympia Schools (Olympia, “the school”) is committed to the safety of our community and students including protecting students from harm (to self and from others), and we are proud to be a school where child protection and child safety are our top priority. We take very seriously our duty and responsibility to protect and safeguard the interests of all children. We also recognize that effective child protection work requires procedures, cooperation, and a workforce that is competent and confident in responding to child protection situations. As part of The Olympia Schools’ commitment to keeping all students safe, the Child Protection Policy aims to:
(1) raise awareness of child abuse and child protection
(2) identify risks and cases of possible abuse of children
(3) provide guidance on child protection and safety.
We review and revise (if necessary) the policy annually, or after an incident pertaining to child protection issues when responding from an interested party, or when significant changes to the school’s operations are introduced.
Please further review Olympia's Child Protection Policy.
