Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 12 asked in the Legislative Council on 4 May 2021 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SCHOOLS — CHILD PROTECTION

12. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to the minister's answer to question without notice 727 in the fortieth Parliament in which she advised that as of 11 August 2020, seven alleged or convicted offenders were attending the same public school as their victims.

(1) As at the start of the 2021 school year, how many of the seven alleged or convicted offenders were still at the same school as their victims?

(2) Further to (1), how many of the victims of the seven perpetrators had moved to a different school?

(3) What is the current total number of alleged or convicted offenders attending the same public school as their victims?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. In 2017, the McGowan government put in place protocols to manage safety arrangements for school students when a young person at a school is charged with harmful sexual behaviours. Upon receipt of a notification from the Western Australia Police Force that a student enrolled in a public school has been charged with harmful sexual behaviours, the Department of Education develops a school-level risk assessment and management plan—RAMP.

(1) There are two.

(2) Nil.

(3) There are six as at 28 April 2021. There is a RAMP in place for each of these six students.
