Catholic University to copy and communicate documents.
Part VB covers all copying of print and graphic works - photocopying,
copying to slides, microfiche or overhead transparencies, scanning into

and computer workstations. It is in your interests to be familiar with

Criminal
Record Check
Legislative provisions in most states require students undertaking certain
practical work in those authorities to be subject to a Police Service
record check. This will involve checks of the names and birth dates of
students enrolled in certain practical work units in the areas of health,
education, and social work, and checks regarding any relevant criminal
record.
Those students who are not willing to have such a check made should not
enrol in the units concerned. Failure to enrol in the particular unit,
or failure to satisfy the Police check (leading to inability to complete
the unit) may prevent a student from completing the requirements for an
award.
The University accepts no responsibility for any outcomes in this matter.
Child
Protection Legislation
Legislative provisions in most states require certain persons (eg persons
found guilty of committing certain serious sex offences) from applying
for, undertaking, or remaining in child-related employment. This includes
circumstances where students who, in the course of their studies, engage
in activities which involve direct contact with children (persons under
18 years of age).Failure to satisfy these requirements in relation to
practical, industry or clinical placements which are compulsory course
requirements will prevent the student from completing the requirements
for an award.
The
University accepts no responsibility for any outcomes in this matter.
Sexual
Harassment Policy and Procedures
The University has a Policy and Procedures for Complaints of Sexual Harassment;
a copy is available in each campus library at the information/reference
desk. The policy and procedures are also available on the intranet.Go
to quicklinks/inetacu/resource centre/Personnel Information, under Policies
and Enterprise Agreements/Handbook for Personnel Policies and Procedures.
Students are covered by the policy and procedures in relation to the provision
of their education. Although the procedures cannot cover students in the
course of employment, they are encouraged to consult a Sexual Harassment
Adviser if they encounter any such difficulties. Students who are unsure
of what constitutes sexual harassment or who wish to discuss a concern
should consult a campus Sexual Harassment Adviser.
