Child Protection

In reply to Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (30 April 2020).

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

For the three months of February to April 2020, the rate of placement breakdowns as a proportion of total placements was 1.44 per cent. This is a reduction of 1.17 percentage points, when compared to the February to April 2019 period, where the figure was 2.61 per cent.

It should be noted that these figures exclude respite placements, post 18 placements and emergency placements.
