Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:08): Supplementary: were the allegations of inappropriate behaviour by the 32-year-old Families SA worker treated as tier 1 complaints and investigated within 24 hours?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:08): I won't talk about this particular person, but I will tell you what the process is. If we receive an allegation that is in relation to criminal offending or sexual abuse of children, Families SA does not investigate it. It is referred immediately to South Australia Police.
