PRIVATE SCHOOLS — WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECKS
513. Hon SOPHIA MOERMOND to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer the minister to OH3597
SHARP, Christine Verbatim transcript.pdf (parliament.wa.gov.au). Are criminal
history screenings performed for staff working in private schools in Western Australia?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The standards that apply to
non-government schools require all staff and volunteers to have a current
working with children check, which includes criminal history screening.
