Children Protection and Privacy

Volunteers play an important role in the education of children and young people in partnership with the staff of Catholic schools. Catholic schools must only engage volunteers who are appropriate, suitably skilled, trained and or qualified to work with children and young people. St Joseph’s School Kingswood is committed to providing the highest possible level of safety and security for students and staff, including volunteers. An integral aspect of this is to ensure that all adults who have access to children and young people during the course of school activities are persons of high integrity who pose no threat to the emotional and physical wellbeing and safety of students. Therefore, electronic screening occurs for all volunteers in education settings in our diocese, and volunteers are required to complete ‘Responding to Abuse and Neglect’ training for volunteers. Our school requires all volunteers to obtain and hold a valid and current Police Clearance. To be considered as a volunteer at St Joseph’s School Kingswood, you are required to complete the following declaration. Upon receipt of an individual’s Volunteer Application, the Principal or responsible person will forward the ‘Authority to Access Personal History’ Information to the Catholic Education Office for processing. All other information that relates to the privacy of individuals will be held at the school in a secure place and only accessed by the Principal or Delegated Person of Responsibility). *
