The Queensland Blue Card System is an important prevention and monitoring system for people working with children and young people. It is a legal requirement under the Working with Children (Risk Management and Screening) Act 2000 that all people working in child-related employment are assessed for their eligibility to work with children based on their police history and disciplinary information.
As part of this system Diocese of Toowoomba Catholic Schools are required to develop, implement and review a Child and Youth Risk Management Strategy.
This strategy is an important element of how we continually work to ensure our schools are safe environments for children. A full version of the Child and Youth Risk Management Strategy is available below.
