Farah 4 Kidz

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (5 May 2015).

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

My office forwarded Mr Pisoni's letter of 9 March 2015 and its attachments to the Early Childhood Registrar of the Education and Early Childhood Services Registration and Standards Board.

The matter was referred to the Education and Early Childhood Services Registration and Standards Board's Corporate Services unit. I am advised that the investigation was conducted immediately and in accordance with the public sector guidelines for handling complaints including allegations of misconduct.

The Education and Early Childhood Services Registration and Standards Board has since advised that its internal investigation into the matter has now been finalised. I have subsequently met with the former employee to discuss their individual concern.

I am also advised that Farah 4 Kidz has voluntarily surrendered their service approval following investigations undertaken by the board.
