Who needs to be authorised?

All catechists (SRE teachers),relief catechists, helpers and observers (those considering if they would like to become a catechist) need to obtain authorisation before going onto school property for the purpose of SRE.

There are three steps for initial authorisation: 

• Obtain a Working with Children Check clearance number; 
• Complete the Teacher Engagement Form; 
• Sign a Catechist Additional Statement
• Child Protection and Code of Conduct Introductory Training

Catechists, helpers and observers are not to attend SRE classes without having completed the above requirements and been issued with an Authorisation Card. Should an observer become a regular helper or catechist please notify the Diocesan Catechist Co-ordinator so records can be updated.
