Working With Children Check The phase in schedule for volunteer organisations (which includes Pony Club) will commence 1st April 2015 and all volunteers who are not deemed exempt from the check will need to have provided their WWCC registration number to their Club/Zone for verification by the relevant authorised person. Information on the Phase-in schedule and Exemptions is included in this Mail Out pack. All those people who have not been designated as exempt from registering for a Working with Children clearance will need to provide their registration number by the 31st March 2016 to Club/Zone authorised person. Club/Zones will need to verify each members WWCC registration online (see http://www.kids.nsw.gov.au/Working-with-children/New-Working-with-Children-Check or our website for full details) and keep a register of members registration including their name, WWCC registration number, date of birth, when check was verified, result status and date of renewal.
