Safeguarding Kids Together was launched in 2021 in selected schools to assist schools in becoming safe working and learning environments, and to support the health, safety and wellbeing of their staff and students. The program has expanded from the School Communities Working Together program, established in 2016.

The program provides schools with a proactive, risk management approach to reducing the likelihood and impact of high risk-taking behaviours. A multi-disciplinary team will focus on building cohesive and respectful school communities, identifying and supporting students with vulnerabilities and effectively managing incidents and planning for recovery. In addition, a case management team continues to support schools with individual students engaging in high risk-taking behaviours.
