Police checks - staff and students

As a result of concerns to ensure the safety and welfare of students in schools, the three schooling sectors (DECS, Catholic Education and the Independent Schools Board) have informed the Vice-Chancellor that all University staff and students who undertake activities in the schools which operate within those three sectors must have cleared a police check before they can undertake their planned activities.
