Why do I need approval to conduct my research on Department of Education and Training sites including schools?
If you intend to conduct research activities on any education sites, you will need approval from the relevant units. Department of Education and Training sites include State Schools, Environmental Education Centres, Facility Service Centres, Central Office business units and District Offices. The Department of Education and Training is responsible for protecting school students and staff and maintaining the integrity of learning. The approval process helps to ensure that the wellbeing of students and staff is protected and that research conducted on departmental sites is appropriate, worthwhile and provides educational benefits. By coordinating research in school sites, the Department can also monitor the level of activity and types of research being undertaken and ensure that departmental staff are able to learn from research findings.
