Procedure for Volunteers

The Child Safe Standards require schools to gather, verify and record a person’s history of work involving children. St Joseph’s Primary School takes child safety very seriously.

1. Working with children Check

All volunteers at St Joseph’s Primary School are required to apply for and pass a Working with Children Check (WWCC). You are required to obtain this prior to commencing volunteer work.

Applications are to be made online at working with children checks

Please ensure you add St Joseph’s Primary School as a volunteer organisation. We will receive a letter advising us that your application has been approved.

2. Policies and Procedures

3. Code of Conduct

Volunteers are to read our School Community - Child Safety Code of Conduct. Please ensure you understand the conditions involving social media. This is available to download and copy from this Google Site or a hard copy from the front office.

We hope you find your volunteering time at St Joseph's enjoyable and rewarding
