Child Protection Department, C3MS System

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Can the minister reassure the house that a staff member who has had a CARL report made against them cannot in any way alter or delete that report?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:54): The C3MS system that was implemented by the former government is the program that is currently being used. It has many, many issues. That is why when I was in opposition asking for questions about drug testing and reports, they were never able to be provided. We have made amendments to the program so that they can be reported on. There are many issues with C3MS. It would be my expectation that if somebody has a report made against them steps would be taken in order to stop them from being able to make changes.

What I do know about C3MS, however, is that it keeps a log of everybody who has been on, so if they did have the ability to go on and make a change it would be on the auditable log and we would be able to determine that—and there are regular audits.
