Under the Children's Act 2014, all employees and contractors working with children for state-funded organisations and involving regular or overnight contact with children without parents or guardians present must be safety-checked.

Whilst this goes beyond legislative requirements, NZSTA believes that everyone who works with children should be safety checked regardless of whether they work for a state-funded organisation or not.
