7. What are our key intervention priorities for 2018-19
The key compliance priorities in this strategy have been determined using a range of available data and information as outlined in the intervention strategies. The priorities recognise the issues important to industry and the community and provide an opportunity for BCS to focus on issues that present the most significant risk.
The priority areas for 2018-19 are as follows:
-
Undertaking audit activities within the following sectors:
- education – non-teaching staff in private and state schools - home stay, and - private babysitting and nannying.
- Case studies of the above audit activities to highlight compliance trends, issues that require attention and outcomes from the audits.
- Responding to clear breaches of the WWC Act identified by BCS.
- Verifying that high risk individuals have been removed from child-related employment, or that they are not running regulated businesses.
- Engaging with community identified compliance issues – actual, potential and perceived.
- Commencing audit activities due to potential breaches of the WWC Act identified within BCS.
- Auditing child and youth risk management strategies in identified environments where risk is, or has been imminent.
-
Streamlining blue card system education packages and training delivery through:
- education resources to assist the community with general compliance, and
- tailored training delivery and specialist resources for external enforcement officers such as QPS, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Magistrates Court and other court staff.
- Meeting planned outcomes and evaluating processes to initiate improvements.
