Roslyn
Primary School follows Department of Education and Training policy in relation
to implementing the COVID-19 mandatory vaccination directions issued by the
Victorian Chief Health Officer:
·
COVID-19
Vaccinations – Teaching Service and School Council Employees
·
COVID-19
Vaccinations – Visitors and Volunteers Working on School Sites.
Under
directions issued by the Chief Health Officer, we are required to collect, record and hold COVID-19 vaccination information from any
person performing work on school site to ensure they meet the mandatory
vaccination requirements in order to enter or remain on school site.
For
school staff (being teaching service staff and school council employed staff) this information is collected by the Department. The
Department also collects and manages vaccination information of certain
contract providers that are managed centrally by the Department.
For
all other visitors working on school site, including volunteers and CRTs
engaged locally, we are required to collect, record
and hold vaccination information.
The
following information outlines the process Roslyn Primary School staff must
follow to ensure vaccination information is collected and recorded in
accordance with the mandatory vaccination directions, Department policy and
Victorian privacy laws.
Procedures
for collecting and recording vaccination information
·
Wherever
possible we will contact volunteers and relevant visitors prior to their
attendance on school site, to inform them of the vaccination requirements prior
to attendance. At the same time, volunteers and relevant visitors will be
reminded that they must not enter the school site if they are unable to provide
vaccination information or if their vaccination information does not meet the
requirements relating to mandatory vaccinations.
·
All
volunteers and visitors arriving on site to work will be required to present to
our school office where staff will collect and record vaccination information
in accordance with the Department policy: COVID-19
Vaccinations – Visitor and Volunteers Working on School Site. Information
will only be collected once, unless further information is required (such as
when the person requires their second dose or where the requirements change and we are required to collect further information as
a result)
·
The
vaccination register and any additional vaccination
information provided by a volunteer or visitor working on school site must be
stored securely the ‘Vaccination Documentation’ folder in U drive of the
school’s admin server
·
If
volunteers or visitors working on a school site are unable to provide the
required vaccination information or the information provided does not meet the
requirements relating to mandatory vaccinations, we will ensure they leave the
school site immediately and report the incident to the Department’s Incident
Support and Operations Centre. For further information about how we will manage
these situations, please refer to the Department’s policy: COVID-19
Vaccinations – Visitors and Volunteers Working on School Sites.
