Child Protection

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:42): My question is again to the Minister for Child Protection. Minister, can you guarantee that when a child in your care is abused every reporting procedure is adhered to?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:42): We have the CARL, the Child Abuse Report Line, that was instigated many years before I was the minister. We have expanded that. We have more staff, and we have initiated the callback facility that was available but never utilised under the former government. We are answering more calls than ever before. The eCARL is also being used very successfully. I believe there have been incredible improvements in all areas of my department.
