Child Protection Awareness Training (CPAT)

CPAT is a one-off course mandated for staff who commenced with the department on January 1 2006.

To support principals and staff managing their current workload, only those staff who commenced with the department after January 1 2020, will be required to retrospectively complete the course. Staff appointed between January 1 2006, and January 1 2020, will be recorded as ‘N/A’ although they have not completed the course. This recognises that these staff have since completed multiple annual mandatory Child Protection training courses and also takes account of the significant workload associated with all non-compliant staff being required to complete CPAT retrospectively.

Where ‘Not certified’ appears, the staff member commenced after January 1 2020 and has not yet completed this mandatory requirement. They are required to do so.

If the employee has completed the training (regardless of start date), it will be recorded as ‘Certified’.

Child Protection Update days until expiry

All employees must complete an annual Child Protection Update before the end of February each year or as soon as possible after commencing their roles.

Code of Ethics and Conduct (PSC)

The new Code of Ethics and Conduct (PSC) for NSW Government Sector Employees (the new Code) supersedes Code of Conduct training and Code of Conduct refresher training. The new Code of Ethics and Conduct (PSC) for NSW Government Sector Employees comes into effect from 1 November 2024. All staff must be compliant with this training by 1 November 2024.

Where ‘Not certified’ appears in red, the staff member commenced from March 2015 onwards and has not completed this mandatory requirement.

Mandatory training for specific roles

These courses are mandatory for specific roles. Where possible, the Staff Compliance report maps the role to course completions.

Courses that have not yet been completed or those that need to be renewed are highlighted as 'Not Certified'.

How do I focus on a specific staff member?

  2. Scroll across the data.
  3. Unselect by clicking the staff member again or select 'Staff Compliance' from the left-hand menu.

Why are some staff listed twice?

If you sort by staff name, you’ll see that some staff may be employed under different contracts e.g. casual, temporary, and permanent.

Which members of my staff have mandatory training that has expired, or was potentially never commenced?

Sort the report by mandatory training course by clicking on the column header. E.g. sort 'Code of Conduct' in ascending order. You’ll see staff who have not completed the training, whose training has expired or is soon to expire.

Training courses have different expiry periods, and Scout will report based on the expiry date. Some courses don’t expire as they only need to be done once.

How often should I check this report?

Set a reminder to check in on this report regularly.

Should I download this data as a spreadsheet?

Sorting, searching and filtering are all available tools in Scout. Alternatively, you can use the 'Export data' feature. Consider if a download will provide you with additional functionality before downloading spreadsheets with sensitive information.

I have staff relieving in leadership positions. What am I looking for?

Some courses are mandatory for leaders (e.g. Cyber security - PSSE staff). This report will show you staff who are currently certified.

Do I have to collect completion certificates?

No, the only records you need to access are for training that is not on this report currently.

I’ve seen completion certificates for my new staff, but they are not showing in the report. What’s happening?

Some new employees undertake training in MyPL using a non-DoE email.

If so, ask the employee to raise a ticket in MyPL asking to be moved from the Schools page to the Corporate version.
