Child Protection

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): How long before the death of this child did officers of your department visit for that interview and observation that you have just described as being obviously satisfactory from their observations at that time?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:38): I understand it was in August 2011 that Families SA conducted a home visit. As I said, the interactions between Chloe and her mother were observed to be good. The house was clean and in good condition. At the same time, Chloe was attending child care and continuing with respite that was being provided by a non-government organisation. So, no further notifications were received about Chloe prior to the motorbike incident in January 2012.
