Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:14): A supplementary. How does the government determine which tier 2 notifications warrant investigation and which don't?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:15): The government does not determine that. We have trained social workers who take the calls over the Child Abuse Report Line and give them a tier rating, they are then sent out to the district officers and they are the ones who assess the priority of those particular notifications.
