Farah 4 Kidz

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Can the minister advise the house if her department has investigated the qualifications held by the managers and educators employed or contracted by Farah 4 Kidz and, if so, what was the outcome of the investigation?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (15:05): The board that manages this is distinct from the department because we have made a decision in South Australia that the board that registers the preschools, schools and family day care should not be part of an organisation that also runs some of those institutions, but the board has investigated over the last couple of weeks, as I indicated. We are briefing the member later today on what we are able to talk about with that and what decisions are or will shortly be made by the board. If the member requires more details in terms of the allegations that have been raised, what they have discovered, and what they are acting on, I am happy to bring that back to the chamber at a future date.
