Working with Children Checks
A Working with Children Check is a review of findings of misconduct involving children and the result is either a clearance to work with children for five years, or a bar against working with children. If the outcome is a clearance, the Check can be used for any child-related work, or work in a medical field, for a period of five years. This Check is mandatory.
Who needs a Working with Children Check?
Any individual that works in a child-related or medical work must apply for a Working with Children Check. Child-related work means either direct or indirect contact with children and/or their records in a child-related sector, or work in a stipulated, child-related role.
