Working with Children Checks - Tutors

www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/child-safe-organisations/working-with-children-check:

Any parent who accesses the services of a tutor for sport, music, drama, speech, academic coaching and so on is responsible for checking that the tutor has a Working With Children Check with a status of CLEAR.

A Working With Children Check is a requirement for people who work or volunteer in child-related work. It involves a national criminal history check and a review of findings of workplace misconduct.

The result of a Working With Children Check is either a clearance to work with children for five years, or a bar against working with children. Cleared applicants are subject to ongoing monitoring and relevant new records may lead to the clearance being revoked. The Working With Children Check is fully portable so it can be used for any paid or unpaid child-related work in NSW for as long as the worker remains cleared.
