Trustees of Edmund Rice Education Australia Enforceable Undertakings
In May 2020, The Trustees of EREA (TEREA) entered into enforceable undertakings with the Victorian Regulations and Qualifications Authority (VRQA). The VRQA had found TEREA non-compliant with the governance minimum standard, and the care, safety, and welfare standard, including Ministerial Order 870 Child Safe Standards.
TEREA acknowledges that significant work has been required in order to discharge the enforceable undertakings, and to that end, has endeavoured to improve governance structures and practices, to investigate and reflect on the governance oversights, and to ensure improvements in line-of-sight management of its schools, not just in Victoria, but across all jurisdictions.
