Education and Child Development Department Audit

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (28 February 2017).

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

Out of the five recommendations made, the Department for Education and Child Development has taken steps to implement four of them. Schools and sites have been provided with direction and information to ensure the recommendations are being implemented. Compliance activity is underway through the Education Complaint Unit, which will be completed by 30 June 2017.

One of the recommendations is still being considered as it involves the installation of a new computer system. Progress on this Education Management System project will be available in late 2017.
