These procedures provide information for employees in relation to their obligations and responsibilities with respect to managing information breaches.

The principal or college manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of a public school or residential facility, including providing for the safety and welfare of students, staff and visitors on the site.

The Department registers home educators and evaluates their educational programs and children’s progress.
