Interim bars
17 Interim bars
(1) The Children's Guardian may, at any time after receiving an application
for a working with children check clearance or commencing an assessment of an
applicant for or holder of a clearance, determine that the applicant or holder
is subject to an
"interim bar" , being a bar on the applicant or holder doing any of the
following-- (a) engaging in child-related work,
(b) residing on the same
property as an authorised carer,
(c) residing on a property where a
family day care service is provided.
(2) The Children's Guardian may make a
determination under this section if it is of the opinion that it is likely
that there is a risk to the safety of children if the applicant or holder
engages in child-related work or resides on a property referred to in
subsection (1)(b) or (c) pending the determination of the application or
assessment.
(3) The Children's Guardian must as soon as practicable after
determining that an applicant or holder is subject to an interim bar, give
written notice of that determination to the applicant or holder and to each
person that the Children's Guardian reasonably believes to be a
notifiable person in relation to the applicant or holder.
(4) An interim bar
ceases to have effect-- (a) on notification in writing by the Children's
Guardian to the applicant or holder that the interim bar is revoked, or
(b)
in the case of an applicant for a clearance, if the applicant is granted or
refused a clearance, or
(c) 12 months after the interim bar takes effect,
whichever occurs first.
