The Department of Education recognises and supports the diverse needs of all students. This policy is to establish school processes to identify, provide for, monitor and report on students who may be at educational risk.

The School Education Act 1999 requires all enrolled student to attend school or participate in an educational program of the school. Principals are required to record and monitor student attendance and develop appropriate strategies to restore attendance for students with persistent absence.

This framework must be read in conjunction with the Injury Management and Workers' Compensation policy.

This framework provides information for employees in relation to their obligations and responsibilities with respect to privacy and responsible information sharing.

The procedures outline the requirements for staff in residential facilities to ensure the safety and well-being of students during leisure activities.

These procedures ensures that employees are aware of their obligations under the Working With Children Check (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004 (the Act) and ensures that the Department maintains compliance with the Act.
