Working with Children Check (WWCC)

​

A Working with Children Check is required for the following ministries:

​

• Acolytes

• Senior Servers

• Children Choir Leaders

• Children Liturgy Leaders

• Catechists

• Youth Ministry Leader

• Eucharistic Ministers taking Holy Communion to the Housebound

​

The Diocese and our Parish is committed to keeping children safe and complying with all legislation. Recently, the Working With Children Check (WWCC) legislation changed. As a result, our generous volunteers in child-related ministries are required by law to obtain a WWCC. The WWCC is free for volunteers. Anyone who volunteers in child-related ministries need to obtain a WWCC before they begin their ministry. Since 31 March 2015, all existing volunteers in child-related ministries must obtain a WWCC.

If you already have a WWCC, you can use that number in our parish. Please contact the Parish Office to provide your WWCC number.
