Farah 4 Kidz

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:00): Can the Minister for Education and Child Development advise the house if the government was satisfied that there were no issues relating to child safety of those children in the care of Farah 4 Kidz?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (15:01): The registrations of these organisations are done through a board that is empowered to undertake that work. When I was alerted to questions about whether there were indeed child safety matters, I wrote immediately to the board and asked them to assure me that children were safe. I understand that what occurred in the following week were investigations of homes where children were being cared for in the day-care setting and that the board is now making a decision about what it wants to do with reference to that organisation.
