Children's Worker Safety Check

What is a Children’s Worker Safety Check?

A Children’s Worker Safety Check is a legislative requirement in New Zealand under the Children’s Act 2014 (the Act). The aim is to develop a safe and competent workforce who can better identify, support and protect children and other vulnerable individuals in the community. The safety checks are designed to identify people who pose a risk to children and prevent them from being employed in a position that provides care or support to a child.

Who needs to apply for a Children’s Worker Safety Check?

Government safety checking regulations in New Zealand made under the Act require all paid employees and contractors who work with children for state-funded organisations to complete a Children’s Worker Safety Check. The regulations also apply to people doing unpaid work with children in New Zealand as part of an education or vocational training course (such as trainees or students).

Businesses, unfunded non-government organisations, and voluntary organisations are not covered by the regulations, but are encouraged to adopt the new New Zealand working with children standards voluntarily.

What is the role of CVCheck in Children’s Worker Safety Checks?

CV Check (NZ) Ltd have been approved as a screening service to provide Children’s Workers Safety Checks for specific groups of children’s workers from the Te Whatu Ora-Health New Zealand, New Zealand Ministry of Education, New Zealand Ministry of Social Development and other organisations who require these working with children police checks.

As the provider of the Service, CV Check (NZ) Ltd will complete independent third-party safety checks on children’s workers in the health, education and social sectors. These safety checks involve gathering a range of key information about a person and evaluating this information to determine whether they pose any risk in being employed to work with children.
