Child safety statement

Our commitment

Child safety is the highest-stakes part of what we do. No algorithm decides who is safe to work with children. People do, before a single offer is sent. Our policies and practices are designed around the Victorian Child Safe Standards.

Before anyone can be offered work

• A current Working with Children Check (or VIT registration, which includes a check), verified by our team
• A signed child safety declaration
• VIT registration or relevant education support qualifications, verified
• Right to work in Australia, verified
• Two professional references, reviewed by a recruiter, including mandatory child safety questions

Ongoing

We track expiry dates and re-check before anything lapses. An educator whose check expires is paused automatically and cannot receive offers until it is renewed and verified.

Culturally safe and inclusive

We respect and promote the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with disability, and LGBTIQ+ children.

Responding to concerns

Concerns are handled through a separate, confidential process with named escalation owners. We meet all mandatory reporting and reportable conduct obligations and cooperate fully with schools, regulators and police.

Raise a concern

Call 1300 000 000 or email safety@irecruitteams.com. If a child is in immediate danger, call 000.
