Residential Care Facility Visits

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister made time to get out on the front line and personally meet young people in residential care?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:28): I thank the member for her important question. Yes, of course I have. That was one of the most important things for me. When you were questioning me on lists of commissioners and other people, I made it quite clear that one of my most important duties would be to meet with staff on the front line and to meet with children in residential care, foster care and kinship care. I have done that throughout the regions and throughout the metropolitan area, and I have more booked in the coming weeks.
