As part of our commitment to being a child safe organisation, everyone in our school needs to complete compulsory safeguarding training each year and hold a Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) card. This card should be carried with you when visiting the school.  

We value your involvement at Penguin District School and hope that you can complete the mandatory requirements before volunteering.

DECYP Volunteer Requirements

• Non-DECYP employed workers (volunteers and parent help) aged 18 years or over, must complete the Your Obligations – Safeguarding Training 15-minute video each year before engaging with children and young people. The training video can be accessed here Certificates are valid for 12 months from the date of completion. Log in
• For further information, access the frequently asked questions.

Working with Vulnerable People 

DECYP requires all (volunteers and parent) help over 16 years* to hold current Tasmanian Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) before they begin work. This includes volunteers and parent help.  

There are limited situations where RWVP is not required – see the Registration to Work with Vulnerable People Policy for further information. 

This requirement supports the safeguarding of children and young people. 

*Anyone that is 16 years of age or over and fits the RWVP requirements outlined on the Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS) website.
