9 CHILD SAFETY AND VETTING

9.1 Effective screening, as part of a comprehensive organisational child protection policy, can help identify potentially unsuitable people before they have the opportunity to do harm to children or allow harm to be perpetrated by others. To use the Voluntarily platform you will participate in a suite of tools and processes for:

  • Identity - ensuring people are who they say they are.

  • Screening - processes for analysing the information gathered and identifying suitable candidates – in this case, those who can be relied on to keep children safe.

  • Vetting - the formal process of obtaining checks from another agency, e.g., the Police Vetting Service, criminal conviction history checks.

  • Tracking - identifying volunteer activities that involve working with children and signalling to activity organisers the status of the people volunteering.

9.2 We may request specific information from users including:

  • Consent or non-consent for the current employer to be contacted.

  • A declaration of whether or not they have been convicted of a criminal offence, which is not eligible to be concealed under the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004 and space to provide an explanation.

  • Consent to undertake a Criminal Conviction History Check or Police Vet, using the required forms.

  • Any other necessary disclosures. For example, details of their professional registration status and any previous employment or professional disciplinary history that could be relevant to child safety.

9.3 This information may be disclosed to partners and opportunity providers to ensure the safety of children and young people.
