Commitment to Child Safety at Dilworth School
Dilworth cares deeply about the safety, welfare, and well-being of those in our school community. Today Dilworth has zero tolerance for abuse of any kind- safeguarding and wellbeing of students are in line with current and world-leading best practices. In September 2025, Dilworth School successfully achieved reaccreditation through the Australian Childhood Foundation's (ACF) Safeguarding Children Programme. The ACF congratulated Dilworth for complying with all seven standards of its accreditation requirements.
This achievement followed a comprehensive accreditation audit. The audit report concluded that Dilworth's safeguarding culture is "highly mature," with robust systems, policies, and procedures embedded throughout the organisation. Auditors noted that protecting children's safety and supporting their wellbeing is considered the "highest priority" and "second nature" among personnel.
Previously, Dilworth was accredited with Child Wise, becoming the first school in Aotearoa, New Zealand to do so in 2022.
