Safeguarding and Child Protection
There is no issue of greater importance to parents and carers and the staff of St Bede's and St Joseph's Catholic College than the safety of their children. St Bede's and St Joseph's Catholic College is committed to the safeguarding of students, staff and families. We are rigorous in our response to concerns raised and record all incidents and communications.
If you have a concern regarding the welfare of a member of the SBSJ community please contact the College immediately.
