The Victorian Minister for Education, James Merlino MP, has announced a review of VIT’s governance and operational frameworks.
From 1 July 2017, the first phase of the Victorian Government’s reportable conduct scheme will commence. This will impact on the reporting duties of all teachers and early childhood teachers in response to all allegations of child abuse and child-related misconduct.
The introduction of the Mandatory Reporting and the Child Safe Standards is part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to implementing the recommendations of the Betrayal of Trust report on institutional responses to child abuse.
