The purpose of a Registration to Work with Vulnerable People is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in our schools and other premises.

All employees, volunteers, contractors, external providers, or persons engaged in or associated with a child regulated activity, must maintain a current Tasmanian RWVP. This policy places children at the centre of the requirements under the policy and compliance with the Registration to Work with Vulnerable People Act 2013.

To volunteer in our school, including in classrooms and on excursions it is compulsory that you complete the Safeguarding Training, the link to access training is provided below.

The training is valid for 12 months after completion, however, it is a good idea to update this at the beginning of each school year to ensure you are covered. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
