CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Will the minister inform affected school communities of the outcomes of investigations into serious employee misconduct that lead to arrests and charges?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:44): We have a very clear policy of letting school communities know about serious issues that are impacting on the safety of their children. I am committed to doing that, and that is why I have today announced the appointment of a new deputy chief executive officer with clear responsibility of child safety right across the department.
