ONLINE RP TRAINING:
This training addresses the legal responsibilities of a person in day-to-day charge, key operational requirements, and Trilly’s 6 Steps – Trillion Business Society’s framework for effectively managing and supervising a service as the person in day-to-day charge.
The training focuses on providing essential knowledge and skills for individuals placed, or intended to be placed, in day-to-day charge of an education and care service. Suitable for onboarding, upskilling, or fulfilling due diligence requirements.
It also supports those in leadership roles, such as Nominated Supervisors, Approved Providers and their delegates, by informing and strengthening practices used to assess suitability and appoint individuals to the Responsible Person role.
SUITABILITY AND APPOINTMENT RECORD:
This document is designed to support services in assessing the qualifications, capabilities, knowledge, and experience of individuals being considered for key leadership and governance roles within an education and care service, including Responsible Person (Person in Day-to-Day Charge), Nominated Supervisor, and Person with Management or Control.
It includes the collection of written consent from the individual, confirmation of compliance history, and an evaluation of their understanding of education and care responsibilities and service operations. This supports services to ensure individuals are appropriately prepared and compliant, in line with regulatory requirements.
Do not wait for the next appointment or staffing change. Onboard existing Responsible Persons, Nominated Supervisors, and Persons with Management or Control to strengthen practice, demonstrate due diligence, and confirm ongoing suitability across your service.
