Child and Family Violence Information Sharing Schemes  Policy

This Child and Family Violence Information Sharing Schemes Policy applies to all primary and secondary Catholic schools managed and operated by Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Limited (DOSCEL) in the State of Victoria (Schools). This policy also applies to the DOSCEL Secretariat.

The purpose of this policy is to support DOSCEL and its Schools to request and share information under the Child Information Sharing Scheme and Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (together, Information Sharing Schemes).

The Information Sharing Schemes provide prescribed Information Sharing Entities (ISEs) with an expanded ability to share confidential information with other ISEs to promote the wellbeing or safety of children or to assess or manage family violence risk.
