Question
I refer to your answer to my question without notice 608 on 9 August 2022, which revealed that between February 2017 and 9
August 2022, the department received 167 police notifications for public
schools under the protocol to manage safety arrangements for students when a
young person at a school is charged with harmful sexual behaviours, and I ask:
(a) what was the date of the first notification received;
(b) what was the longest period of time that a charged student remained at the same school as their victim; and
(c) what was the average period of time that charged students remained at the same school as their victim?
Answered on 14 February 2023
(a) 28 February 2017.
(b) 2 years and 4 months.
(c) The Department of Education only holds point-in-time enrolment data, and I am therefore unable to provide an average.
