CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:44): I will try again with the Minister for Education and Child Development. Are those other than teachers, such as volunteers and contractors, who come into regular contact with children in public schools screened every three years as per the government's policy on screening and criminal history checks?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:44): I expect that the member for Unley is referring to an article that was in today's paper, and I think it was confirmed by the principals association that principals absolutely know the requirements that need to be done in relation to those people who have regular contact with students in our schools and who are not teachers.
