Child Protection Department

989 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (19 June 2019). In 2018-19, how many complaints lodged with the Department for Child Protection by foster or kinship carers against non-government or commercial agencies were substantiated?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection): I have been advised:

Where complaints or enquiries are received by the Department for Child Protection relating to the actions of non-government agencies these are referred to those agencies. Where complaints or enquiries relate to service provider contract performance or compliance issues, these are managed through the Department for Child Protection Contract Management Framework. No new matters were raised in 2018-19.
