FAMILIES SA

In reply to the Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (14 February 2012).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): The Minister for Education and Child Development is advised:

For reasons of confidentiality, there are significant limits to the specific detail that can be provided in response to this question.

I can advise that this family is known to Families SA.

Families SA has been working to support the family and to protect the children, and will continue to do so.

The Children's Protection Act 1993 makes clear a set of Fundamental Principles which must be considered as part their determinations for a child's best interests.

In relation to case review and monitoring, the State Government has a range of effective processes in place. In addition, monitoring processes within the Department for Education and Child Development and external bodies working in the public interest are able to review Families SA cases. External agencies include the Office for the Guardian of Children and Young People, the Child Death and Serious Injury Review Committee, and the Health and Community Services Complaints Commissioner.
