Update on NSW Working with Children in Schools Checks<br />
There has been some confusion about the NSW Department of Education and Training’s requirements regarding<br />
police checks for performers working in schools. However, the guidelines have been simplified for 2010. Under<br />
the new arrangements, the first time a presented seeks to work in a school in NSW, the first school approached<br />
by the presenter/performer would forward the completed ‘Prohibited Employment Declaration’, ‘Consent to<br />
Employment Screening’ form and ‘100 points of identity’ documents to the Employment Screening Unit of the<br />
Department. The presenter is required i) to comply with the employment screening process the first time they visit a<br />
school in any year and ii) to provide subsequent schools visited with specific personal details of all members of the<br />
group (full name, previous names/aliases, dates of birth), in advance, so that each school can verify the presenters’<br />
Working with Children Check status with the Employment Screening Unit. Once approved to work in schools, the<br />
approval is valid for 12 months.<br />
