Safety in Practice Agreement
School of Education students undertaking professional experience (PE) placement/s

Personal Information Statement
Your personal information is collected by the School of Education on behalf of the
University of Tasmania (UTAS) for the primary purpose of establishing your capacity to
participate safely in PE placements. Your personal information will only be used for the
primary purpose for which it is collected and disclosed only to the following persons or
organisations:
1.
Employees of the University who require this information to carry out their duties; and
2.
PE placement providers for implementation of reasonable adjustments
UTAS will ensure that your personal information is not used for another purpose or
disclosed to third parties without your consent, unless such a disclosure is required or
permitted by law. Personal information will be managed in accordance with the Personal
Information Protection Act, and the UTAS Privacy Policy. You also have the right to access
your personal information held by the University in accordance with the Right to Information
Act (Tas).
Safety in Practice Disclosure
UTAS is committed to continuously improving the management and standards of work,
health and safety and in so doing we strive to protect the health and safety of our students
and other people in the community with whom students interact as part of their study.
In accordance with UTAS Health and Safety Policy and Professional Experience
Placement Policy, all students required to undertake PE placements as part of their degree
are required to establish and maintain their medical, physical and psychological capacity to
practice safely.
You are therefore, required to declare your capacity to meet the Professional
Experience Mandatory Functional Requirements.
Declaring a medical, physical and /or psychological condition will not automatically exclude
you from undertaking PE placement. UTAS is committed to anti-discrimination practices
and will provide reasonable adjustments to enable students to participate in PE
placements as long as safety requirements or teacher registration requirements are not
compromised.
Where University of Tasmania staff have reason to believe that a student does not have
the capacity to meet one or more of the Mandatory Function requirements, staff from the
School of Education will discuss this with the student and, if necessary, the student may be
required to undertake relevant assessment prior to confirming the student's eligibility for a
Professional Experience Placement and any relevant conditions or support associated with
the placement.
