What you are referring to is the Working With Children Card which is
being introduced as a result of new working with children legislation.
There was lots of discussion and debate about this legislation in I
think it was 2004 when it was being drafted and going before parliament.
The check/card will be required by anyone with unsupervised (eg: by a
teacher) access to children and won't just apply to schools, for example
sport coaches might need one.  There will be exceptions such as where a
parent is supervising an activity where one of their children is a
participant.  The requirement for existing employees is to be phased in
over the next 18 months but I believe new SSOs will require it from 1
July 2006.

 

The Conduct & Ethics Branch of DE&T are preparing information for
schools on the impact, procedures etc.  The WWC check and card includes
a criminal records check (not quite the same as DE&Ts CRC) and like the
existing CRC there is a charge for this.  The WWC is not through the
VIT, it is being run from the Department of Justice.

Hi everyone,

 

We have just heard a rumour about a 'working with children' card to be 

mandated for all adults working in schools (eg Aides, Office Staff, 

Technicians, PARENTS!!!)

at a cost of $70 per annum, similar to teacher VIT Registration and 

operated through VIT.  Has anyone else heard about this or is this just
a 

load of rubbish?
