Child Protection Legislation #3
Prohibited Employment & Employment Screening - 29 May 2000

Contents

1 . Recent Seminars

As you will be aware from previous circulars on this matter dated 5 and 18 April 2000, a series of regional child protection seminars has recently been completed at various locations within the Diocese.

Approximately 265 persons attended these seminars with representation from about 100 parishes (out of a total of 263 parishes in the Diocese ).

2. Supplementary Seminars

If your parish has not been able to send a representative to one of the recent seminars, supplementary seminars are being held in the Auditorium, Ground Floor, St Andrew's House, Sydney at the following times:

Monday 26 June 2000 at 12.30pm

Thursday 29 June 2000 at 5.00pm

Each seminar should take approximately 1½ hours.

As the legislation is now expected to come into effect in early July 2000, these seminars should provide a timely opportunity for ministers, churchwardens and others to consider what steps must be taken to comply with the legislation in your parish.

Please call me on 9265 1671 if you require further details.
