Uniform Guidelines

Uniform Guidelines
College-based guidelines are not variations to CEWA Executive Directives. They enact contextual decisions and have the legal obligation of CECWA policy for people acting under the authority of the principal. Guidelines are used when there are multiple ways of correctly delivering on a task and there is a need to take environment, situational awareness and discretion into account in deciding the appropriate course of action. Please note this document is to be read in conjunction with the CECWA Policy Community and the Executive Directive – Student Safety, Wellbeing and Behaviour.

PURPOSE:
