Child Protection

In reply to Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (22 September 2020).

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

The Debelle inquiry recommendation relating to notifying the minister of allegations of sexual misconduct (Recommendation 7) applies to 'a person employed in any capacity at a school'. The former South Australian government accepted the recommendation and implemented it through policy, which ensures that the Minister for Education is notified of such incidents. The recommendation did not relate to residential care homes nor to persons with no employment relationship with the state government.
