The requirement
The provider complies with every relevant state and territory law on reporting a risk of harm to children, so workers know when and how to make a mandatory report and the provider can show reports were made.

- Training records on recognising and reporting risk of harm to children
- Register of child protection reports made, with dates and outcomes
What assessors commonly find
