Wheeled devices in and around schools
There are various resources and guidance available to help schools manage and communicate with families about keeping children safe when they choose to ride to and from school
Parents are responsible for their child's travel to and from school.
However, schools also have a duty of care to ensure that students are travelling as safely as possible.
This duty of care extends beyond the school grounds and official hours, encompassing situations like excursions, travel to and from school, and participation in TAFE/VET courses or work experience, whether during or outside of regular school hours. (Legal Services Duty of Care and Behaviour Management)
