CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Was the minister correct when she told the house yesterday that the monitoring of the screening process for volunteers and contractors working within the education system was the responsibility of school principals?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:52): My understanding is that when volunteers come into our schools to work that process is managed by the schools themselves.
