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.
