Korimako Education Legal Requirements

Korimako Education facilitators are familiar with school policies, their associated procedures and protocols and abide by them.   Initial meetings with principal at beginning of contract determine school processes relating to health and safety, privacy and vulnerable children act requirements. 

Child Protection

Korimako Education follows the Ministry of Education Child Protection Policy as this specifies that it covers all employees, contractors and volunteers working for the Ministry’s national and regional offices.  

The vulnerable children's policy referred to above is an essential document for induction and ongoing coaching.  ​Facilitators have a clear understanding of potential ethical impacts of work when working with children, particularly vulnerable children, and with educators.  Understanding how the unintended use of power impacts on engagement and accuracy of data, ensuring the security of data, gathering informed consent, confidence of privacy, etc. are just some of the ethical considerations that are factored into facilitator learning.  Regular coaching sessions with an external coach has established a sound checking system for this.


Health and Safety

Korimako Education's Health and Safety policy is shaped around the requirements for school Health and Safety Policies on the MoE website. 

Covid-19 Response
Covid-19 on our way of working needs to be specific.  Korimako Education will follow government policies relating to the current level of threat. We will also identify the school ways of working and follow these.  Good practice includes the following:
  • Wearing masks if required
  • Signing in to schools using the Covid-19 app
  • Washing hands regularly
  • Sanitising hands regularly
  • Not working if unwell
  • Getting tested if any symptoms are present
  • Working remotely if schools are shut down

To align our policy with the schools we work in, facilitators will: 
  • Discuss specific school-related health and safety policies before starting any contract work. 
  • Put copies or links to school/centre statements into work folders for that school
  • Keep records, report incidents to school/centre according to specific school policies
Health and Safety checklist tools available on the MoE website are part of our H&S plan.
