The Reportable Conduct Scheme in Western Australia is a system that aims to make children safer. It requires heads of organizations, including universities, that exercise care, supervision, or authority over children to notify the WA Ombudsman of allegations of, or convictions for, child abuse by their employees.
The University Values and Staff Code of Conduct are indicative of the importance the University places on ethical behaviour. The University does not tolerate improper conduct and is committed to the aims and objectives of the Reportable Conduct Scheme which includes measures to help prevent child abuse and improve the systems and processes for preventing and dealing with complaints and reports of child abuse.
Further information about the Reportable Conduct Scheme is available from the ECU Reportable Conduct Scheme and WA Ombudsman Reportable Conduct Scheme webpages. We encourage you to report any alleged incidents of child abuse by ECU staff that you experience or witness. You may remain anonymous when reporting.
