Parent Engagement in Child Safety
Community Expectations Group
In early March 2020, CSPV attended the quarterly meeting with the VIT Community Expectations Advisory Committee. The committee consists of the three parent councils from government (Parents Victoria), Catholic (Catholic School Parents Victoria) and independent schools (Victorian Parents Council), the Victorian Student Representatives Council (VicSRC), Commissioner for Children and Young People (CCYP), Victorian Registrations and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) and members of Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).
These meetings highlight the importance of communication and information sharing with parents and an understanding of the role that VIT has to ensure child safety is priority when it comes to the registration of teachers each year.
CSPV acknowledge VIT for their transparency with parents and for putting children's safety first. CSPV support the work of VIT and value the partnership we have established over many years being involved in consultation with the organisation.
CSPV recently reviewed the Victorian Teaching Profession Code of Conduct and invite you to download our submission via the link below:
