What is WWCC? Why do we require this from our providers?

Children’s safety is our absolute priority and we ensure that all of our Service Providers are certified with the nationally recognised Working With Children Check (WWCC).

When anyone works (either online or in person) with children in a paid, self-employed or voluntary capacity, they must have a WWCC clearance. A clearance means that the provider has passed a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct. These are valid for 5 years from the Clearance Date and are continually monitored by the police authorities during this period for any changes or concerns.

HappyKids HQ requires evidence of this WWCC number, before publicly listing any of our HappyKids Providers, so that all parties can be confident and have peace of mind for the safety of all children in our network.
