Estimates Committee B - Answers to Questions Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Estimates Committee B - Answers to Questions published Estimates Replies Unregulated Childcare Centres UNREGULATED CHILDCARE CENTRES In reply to Mr PISONI Legislative Council UNREGULATED CHILDCARE CENTRES In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (22 June 2012). The Hon. G. PORTOLESI Legislative Council Minister for Education and Child Development UNREGULATED CHILDCARE CENTRES The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development): I am advised: The Education and Early Childhood Services Board does not regulate the personal arrangements that parents may choose to make for the care of their children. I am not aware of any current data available to ascertain if there are any trends in the use of personal arrangements by families. The board regularly receives information from a range of community sources and agencies that share a concern for the wellbeing of children. If the board has reason to believe that a service may be operating without the required approvals the circumstances are investigated and, if necessary, acted upon to ensure that any requirements are met.
