Safeguarding Officers
Every student at TSA Independent School has the right to feel safe and free from harm.
You need to tell somebody if you, or another student are being harmed or are afraid of being harmed from somebody at home, at school or in the wider community. If you, or someone else are feeling unsafe, it is important to tell somebody immediately.

Mandatory Reporting Obligations
Under ss.365 and 365A of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld) any school staff member must immediately give a written report to the principal or principal’s supervisor when they become aware of or reasonably suspect, in the course of their employment, the sexual abuse or likely sexual abuse of a student under 18 years. The principal or principal’s supervisor must immediately give a copy of the report to the Queensland Police Service (QPS). TSA Independent Schools also have internal processes in place which are outlined in our TSA Child Protection Policy v.9.6 and Child Protection Risk Management Strategy. Both documents are available upon request.
Under s.13E of the Child Protection Act 1999 (Qld) teachers must give a written report to the Department of Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Services (Child Safety) when, in the course of their employment, they form a reasonable suspicion that a child has suffered, is suffering or is at unacceptable risk of suffering significant harm caused by physical or sexual abuse and may not have a parent able and willing to protect the child from harm.
