CECV Guidelines on the Engagement of Contractors
The CECV Guidelines on the Engagement of Contractors may be used when engaging independent contractors, such as:
- instrumental music tutors or sports coaches
- IT consultants
- contract cleaners, plumbers, electricians, painters, builders and other maintenance workers.
The guidelines aim to provide schools with step-by-step information as to the process of selecting and engaging contractors. In particular, they seek to assist employers in meeting the Victorian Child Safe Standards and Ministerial Order No.1359.
They also contain various templates for use by schools.
