NSW Registration Module Update – March 2020

CompliSpace has completed an update to your Registration Module to add in a new policy titled “Procedures for Handling Allegations of Staff Misconduct and Reportable Conduct” in the “Safe and Supportive Environment” section.

This policy is intended to a be a public-facing summary of the School’s Complaints Handling, Staff Misconduct and Reportable Conduct policies included in CompliSpace Primary. It does not add further compliance obligations onto the School and therefore there is no further implementation required.

The policy was added to help your School better comply with section 3.6.1 of the NESA Manual - Child Protection - that requires:

“A registered non-government school must have in place and implement policies and procedures to:

  • set clear guidelines and expectations for stakeholders regarding complaints or allegations of staff misconduct or reportable conduct

  • publish the school’s complaint handling procedures regarding allegations of staff misconduct or reportable conduct.”

Using the Export Function at the top right-hand corner of your PolicyConnect site, you can export this policy to PDF and upload it onto your public website to assist in complying with these requirements.

If you require any further assistance, or have any questions, please contact your CompliSpace Consultant.
