(1) This section applies if—

(a) the chief executive of a department proposes to engage a person in the department to perform child-related duties; and
(b) the person does not have a prescribed notice or exemption notice.

(2) The chief executive must apply to the CCYPCG commissioner for the prescribed notice or exemption notice.

(3) The application must be made, and dealt with, under the CCYPCG Act as if the chief executive were proposing to start employing, or continue employing, the person in regulated employment.

Notes—
1 Under the CCYPCG Act, section 199(3), a person who asks someone else to sign an application for a prescribed notice about the other person must warn the other person that it is an offence for a disqualified person within the meaning of the CCYPCG Act to sign the application.
2 An application for a prescribed notice or exemption notice must include the person's consent to child-related employment screening. See the CCYPCG Act, section 200 (for applications for prescribed notices) or 261 (for applications for exemption notices).
3 A person's consent to child-related employment screening may be withdrawn by the person or may be taken to be withdrawn in particular circumstances. See the CCYPCG Act, sections 204 to 210 (for applications for prescribed notices) or sections 264 to 271 (for applications for exemption notices).
