CHILDREN WITH HARMFUL
SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS — RESIDENTIAL CARE — REVIEW
525. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
I
refer to the Commissioner for Children and Young People's Independent
review into the Department of Communities' policies and
practices in the placement of children with harmful sexual behaviours in
residential care settings, tabled on 15 September 2021.
(1) Has the minister ever met with ''Macie''?
(2) Has the director general ever
met with ''Macie''?
(3) If yes to (1) or (2), on how
many occasions?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The Department of Communities is bound by
obligations under the Children and Community Services Act 2004 and in the
interests of the safety and wellbeing of the young person involved it will make
no further comment.
