(1) An applicant may, with the consent of the Children’s Guardian, withdraw an application for a working with children check clearance at any time.

(2) The Children’s Guardian must not consent to the withdrawal of an application for a clearance if the Children’s Guardian considers there is a likely risk to the safety of children if the applicant engages in child-related work.

(3) The Children’s Guardian must, as soon as practicable after an application for a clearance is withdrawn by an applicant, give written notice of the withdrawal to each person the Children’s Guardian reasonably believes to be a notifiable person in relation to the applicant.
