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. The next online update course will be available in Plink on 29 April 2024.

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.

If you completed training before 2021, your certificate has expired.

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 did the old RAN-EC training in person before 1 July 2021 and can’t find your full day certificate, 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 your certificate has expired find out 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.

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.
