Protecting children’s safety with Ready, Check, Go!
Ready, Check, Go! is an ongoing campaign that aims to:
- raise awareness of who needs a WWC Check
- increase the knowledge of organisations about their WWC Check obligations and
- ensure individuals who are engaging in child-related work have a valid WWC Card.
Upcoming local government sessions
People working in the local government sector and that are new to the WWC Check are being encouraged to attend the latest Ready, Check, Go! online session on 25 February at 11am, to get a better understanding of the WWC legislation.
Whether you work in a local government recreation centre, public library or manage community events, participants will deep dive into important information about:
- who needs a WWC Check
- how to apply for a WWC Check
- record keeping and governance
- tools and resources to assist managing WWC Checks.
To register your attendance, visit Ready, Check, Go!
Religious organisations encouraged to Ready, Check, Go!
A new video promoting the Ready, Check, Go! campaign message has been launched encouraging religious organisations to attend an online session on to better understand their WWC check obligations.
A social media tile and short videos have been developed and can be used to promote this campaign on social pages.
Ready, Check, GO! in Sport and Recreation
Our ‘Ready, Check, GO!’ campaign aims to:
- raise awareness of the WWC Check to all involved in sport and recreation
- increase the knowledge of clubs and associations about their WWC Check legal obligations
- ensure individuals who are engaging in child-related work have a valid WWC Check and
- inform parents that people working and volunteering with children in sport and recreation clubs and associations may need a WWC Check
The WWC Check is one of many important strategies we have to help strengthen child safety in organisations, which are outlined in the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.
