Timestamped context for incident reviews
Vero records who approved a pass, the selected destination and the associated times. That chronology can support an incident review alongside other relevant school information.
Clearer pass records for NSW schools
Vero records teacher-created passes, selected destinations and associated times in one searchable place. That can support your school's wider supervision process without replacing professional judgement or legal advice.
NSW frameworks to review
NSW requirements differ by school sector and circumstances. These frameworks are a starting point for review, not a complete statement of your school's obligations.
Education Act 1990 (NSW)
This Act forms part of the statutory framework for schooling in NSW. Schools should review the current legislation and the policies or registration requirements that apply to their sector.
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW)
This Act sets work health and safety duties that may be relevant to a school and its activities. The appropriate controls depend on the school, the risk and the surrounding circumstances.
NSW DET Policies & NESA
Government and non-government schools operate under different department policies and registration requirements. Check the current official guidance for the school's sector and context.

A consistent record for school review
Vero provides a live, school-wide system that records each teacher-created pass. Authorised staff can search and export that chronology alongside the school's other supervision records.
- Approving teacher recorded against every pass
- Selected destination, departure time and return time
- Exportable records for an approved school review
How Vero can support your process
Three practical ways Vero can support an NSW school's existing supervision and review processes.
Active-pass visibility during emergencies
During a lockdown or evacuation, authorised staff can view students with active passes, their recorded destinations and departure times. That list can complement, but does not replace, the school's emergency procedures and roll-call process.
Searchable records for school review
Vero provides a consistent pass-record workflow and exportable chronology. A school can use that record alongside its policies, training and other evidence when responding to an authorised review.

Smart Separation warning
Riley Morgan already has an active pass. Jordan and Riley are in the same staff-defined separation group.

Warn staff about defined conflicts
Smart Separation checks staff-defined groups when a pass is created. If another group member has an active pass, the teacher sees a warning and can wait or override with a logged reason. School-set thresholds can also flag overdue passes.
- Teacher-visible warnings for staff-defined pass conflicts
- School-set thresholds for overdue passes
- Logged reasons when an authorised teacher overrides a warning
Duty of care in NSW Your questions answered
What does duty of care mean for NSW schools specifically?
Duty of care is context-specific and is shaped by common law, legislation and the policies or registration requirements that apply to the school. NSW schools should check current official guidance and seek advice about their own circumstances; Vero does not provide legal advice.
How can Vero support an NSW school's supervision process?
Vero creates a timestamped record of teacher-created passes, including the approving staff member, selected destination and associated times. The record can support the school's wider supervision and review processes, but it does not by itself establish compliance with the Education Act or department policy.
Does Vero support compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW)?
A Vero pass record may be one relevant input to a school's risk, incident or supervision process. It shows active passes and recorded destinations rather than a student's verified physical location, and it does not determine whether a school complies with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW).
How does Vero help with NESA registration and compliance requirements?
Vero can provide a searchable chronology of teacher-created passes for an authorised school review. Whether that record is relevant or sufficient depends on the current NESA requirements, the review scope and the school's wider evidence; Vero does not establish compliance by itself.
Can Vero data be used in SafeWork NSW investigations or insurance claims?
Authorised staff can export a dated chronology showing who approved a pass, the selected destination and associated times. An investigator, insurer or adviser decides what evidence is relevant and how much weight to give it; the Vero record is not proof of compliance or of a student's physical location.
Is student data stored in compliance with NSW privacy requirements?
Vero’s primary application database is hosted in Sydney. Supporting providers, purposes and processing countries are disclosed in our Privacy Policy. Vero’s privacy program is designed around the Australian Privacy Principles and applicable school requirements; school data is not sold or used for advertising or to train AI models.
