<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>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><span
style='font-weight:bold'>anyone</span></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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
