Children in Residential Care

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. What measures is the minister exploring to reduce the incidence of young people absconding from residential care?

The Hon. V.A. Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier will not interject.

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:34): There are a lot of initiatives that my department is working on. We are going through all the Nyland royal commission recommendations. There are many areas to work on, as the former minister would know. It's working on every part at the same time. The more I visit the residential care facilities, the more I meet the children and the more idea I have about their lives and how I can improve their lives.
