Was the individual who made the presentation at Renmark school known to the department, and were the materials reviewed by anyone to check if they were appropriate for use with students?</text>

BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (15:09):</by>  I thank the member for Morialta for this question, and two fair questions. The short answer is, from what I have been told so far my understanding is, no, they were not known to the department. I have also been told that, no, my understanding is that those materials weren't reviewed, which is obviously another failure in following the policies and procedures, and another reason why it's very important that we have staff at all times in the classroom with those students who are receiving the respectful relationships session, which is what we are going to make sure happens in the future. As I said in my answer to you before, that work has already commenced around reminding sites of their obligations.</text>
        <text id="202404095ba2517b2edc4014b0000437">I might add also that we have already put in place in response to this a much stricter policy around having an approved provider list, which is something that I have asked for as minister, to make sure that schools don't have latitude beyond the approved provider list of selecting which organisations might get the job of coming and presenting, for instance to year 9 students about respectful relationships.</text>
