Education and Child Development Department Employees

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (11 April 2017).

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

On the basis of Magistrate O'Connor's comments of 6 March 2017 the Department for Education and Child Development's Ethical Conduct Unit is conducting inquiries into the actions of the three staff members who were witnesses.

At this stage, no action has been taken against these staff.

Two of the staff members are still in their positions at the school; the third staff member has a placement at another school.
