The October update from the Social Services Regulator (SSR) includes information on the introduction of two key changes to the Working with Children (WWC) Check.
From Monday 19 October the WWC Connect online service will be introduced and mandatory online child safety training will become part of the application and renewal process.
These changes provide the SSR with increased powers to more effectively share information between the WWC Check scheme and other regulators and agencies.
