SET Procedure Amendments & Update Summary - 2025
When do the updated procedures come into effect?
The new procedures come into effect from Tuesday 1 July 2025. Please disregard any previous versions you may have.
We encourage all professionals or volunteers working with children and young people to familiarise themselves with the updated content: it’s important to be comfortable with following the processes and understand what actions you need to take in various situations.
These procedures are a reference document, and we expect that you will refer to specific sections, rather than read it cover-to-cover.
