Victorian Reportable Conduct Scheme – Heads of Organisations (AU)
The Victorian Reportable Conduct Scheme has been established to ensure that allegations of child abuse in organisational settings are managed and reported in the most effective and timely way. Everyone in an organisation has a responsibility to protect children, however, heads of organisations have an additional responsibility to ensure timely and robust reporting of any suspected abuse.
This course covers the requirements of the Victorian Reportable Conduct Scheme for heads of organisations that fall within the Scheme, including their duty to report any misconduct to the Commission for Children and Young People. It also provides an overview of the Scheme, and its importance in keeping children safe from abuse.
