To work in education you must do mandatory notification training. This training is called Responding to Risks of Harm, Abuse and Neglect – Education and Care (RRHAN-EC).
You must keep your RRHAN-EC training current.
If you do not have a current certificate, check what training you need to do.
How to know if your RRHAN-EC is still current
If you've done RRHAN-EC training you should have received a certificate. The expiry date is on that certificate.
Certificates for training completed between 2024 and 2026, will expire at the end of 2027.
See RRHAN-EC certificate expiry dates for more information.
How to find your certificate
If you can’t find your certificate, you can log in to plink to download it. Look under ‘My Sessions’ for your list of completed sessions.
If you can’t find your old RAN-EC full day certificate that was issued before 1 July 2021, you’ll need to contact the organisation that delivered your training to get a copy.
If your certificate has expired
If your RRHAN-EC expires, you need to do new training.
All staff need to do the fundamentals course.
Specific staff that work directly with children and young people need to do both the fundamentals course and the masterclass.
If you’re not sure, check what training you need to do.
Gaps in your training history
School-based staff and specific staff who work directly with children and young people must keep their training current. There must not be any gaps.
This applies to teaching and non-teaching roles. If you’re in this type of role, you must complete an online update course before your certificate expires to update your training.
Online updates become available in plink at least 6 months before certificates expire.
If you don’t complete the online update before your certificate expires, you'll need to do the fundamentals and the masterclass to update your training. See masterclass for RRHAN-EC to see if this applies to you.
