Child Protection

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:39): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Is it the minister's view that there is no requirement for staff, reporting the rape of a child to police, to inform their manager or supervisor?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:39): I have answered this and, as I said earlier, there is a significant incident reporting procedure that was reviewed as a result of the Ann Marie Smith case, and it was updated in May so that the minister would be notified of an incident such as this at an earlier point.
