Management of Risk of Harm to Students and Staff
TAFE NSW is required by law to ensure the health and safety of students, staff and visitors on our
premises. In order to meet these legal obligations it is necessary for us to assess and manage
any known risk of violent behaviour. If you have a history of violence that may suggest that you
could pose a current risk of any type to TAFE students, staff and/or visitors it is a condition of
your enrolment to advise the Campus Manager, a TAFE Counsellor or your Head Teacher prior to
attending your first class.
For these purposes ‘violence’ is not restricted to physical acts. It includes any behaviour in the last
ten years that seriously interferes with the physical or psychological safety and well being of others
such as: • actual violence to any person, • possession of or use of a weapon or any item with the
intention to cause harm or injury to others, • threats of violence or intimidation of others, • suspension
or expulsion from any school or educational institution for violent or aggressive behaviour.
TAFE NSW is committed to offering vocational education and training to the entire community.
Following your advice of a potential risk, we will carry out an assessment of the current risk and,
if necessary, provide support and a management plan. Only in exceptional circumstances will a
risk assessment lead to exclusion from enrolment. It is our aim to provide an appropriate, safe
environment to suit every student’s needs and maximise your success in your studies.
