Hi Chris<br><br>
Thanks for the correct info. Within DE&T, can there be any
thought to low income staff who would struggle to find this
$amount. I have one staff member who genuinly couldn't afford this,
whatever the amount - single parent SSO1 with four kids.<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

<font face="arial" size=2>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
<b>anyone</b> 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.<br>

<font face="arial" size=2>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.<br>

<font face="arial" size=2>Hi everyone,<br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2> <br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>We have just heard a rumour about a 'working
with children' card to be <br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>mandated for all adults working in schools (eg
Aides, Office Staff, <br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>Technicians, PARENTS!!!)<br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>at a cost of $70 per annum, similar to teacher
VIT Registration and <br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>operated through VIT. Has anyone else
heard about this or is this just a <br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>load of rubbish?<br>
