FAQ 02 What is a Working with Children Check (WWCC?)
A Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a part of a screening process that is currently electronically initiated by an individual to the UC Screening Services Unit via the Safe Church website link under the auspices of the Uniting Church in Australia SA Synod.
The check itself is carried out by the Department of Human Services (DHS) Screening Unit and involves the gathering and assessing of national criminal history as well as information held by the SA Government relating to child protection issues or other care concerns raised with them.
Holding a WWCC doesn’t automatically entitle you into a leadership role within the church as there are other factors of gifts and skills to consider before a role is commenced.
