For All
Child safe legislation states the need to identify 'prescribed persons' with 'prescribed functions'. These slides and webpages are offered to Basketball SA members as a tool to understand the individual and collective responsibilities of the South Australian basketball community.
At the end of some of the slides you will find a simple question or statement. Please submit an appropriate response. Basketball SA only uses email to confirm membership and update profile. Thank you for engaging in this process to become the industry model for creating child safe environments:
What is a 'prescribed position'? The Children's Protection Act 1993 (SA) defines a 'prescribed position' as one in which a person conducting the role:
- has regular contact with children or working in close proximity to children on a regular basis (unless the contact or work is directly supervised at all times); or
- supervises or manages persons in positions requiring or involving regular contact with children or working in close proximity to children on a regular basis; or
- has access to records of a kind prescribed by regulation relating to children; or
- carries out functions of a type prescribed in Regulation 10.
The flowchart below may help organisations determine which of their employees and volunteers are required to undergo child-related employment screening (based on the relevant Standards).
