Pre-employment check
As part of pre-employment screening and suitability checks, principals, managers, nominated supervisors and school councils must ensure that a person’s HR record is checked on the department’s payroll to ensure that no employment limitation has been applied.
The HR record should be checked even where the person is to be employed on the local payroll of a school or engaged by the school council.
This is to ensure that former employees, or persons who have otherwise worked for the department previously or in non-government schools, and who were the subject of significant conduct or performance concerns which resulted in the imposition of an employment limitation, are not re-employed by the department, ELV centres or government schools.
As part of suitability screening processes, it is also a requirement of agencies that provide casual employees to schools and ELV centres to check with the Conduct and Integrity Division (CID) whether there are any limitations on placing a person in a government school or ELV centre as a casual employee or educator.
