Child Protection

In reply to Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (25 February 2015).

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector): I have been advised:

Current policy stipulates:

Students are not to be involved in any investigation processes, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 notifications;

Students are not to be involved in any case that is currently before any court;

Students are not to be involved in Care Concerns; and

Students are never to be the primary assigned worker for a case, as primary responsibility rests with a Families SA employee.
