Based on the assented amendments, the WCED, in conjunction with the Departments of Justice and Social Development, is embarking on the process to ensure that all officials who will be appointed via the recruitment and selection process, officials currently in service, as well as any other persons coming into contact with learners, are vetted against the National Register for Sex Offenders (NRSO) and the National Child Protection Register (NCPR). Based on the criminal law Amendment Act, as mentioned above, candidates must, in addition to the personnel suitability checks, provide the department with a certified copy of the NRSO Certificate from the Department of Justice in respect of the National Register for Sex Offenders.

The submission of an application to an advertised post, automatically grants the WCED consent to conduct the verification via the Department of Social Development.

In addition to the standard personnel suitability checks, the department will also conduct checks against the DPSA Central Register for Verification of Dismissals and Resignations pending disciplinary case.
