The Working With Children Check is just one way we can help protect children. There are many other things we can do to keep children safe in their activities. Find out more about child safe organisations.
There are some things that employers and self employed people must do by law to help keep children safe. Employers must do the Working With Children Check and self employed people must get a Certificate for Self Employed People in child-related employment that proves they are not banned by law from working with children.
