Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 857 asked in the Legislative Council on 11 October 2022 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

EDUCATION — PARENT LIAISON OFFICE

857. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to an article in The West Australian of 30 August 2022 titled ''Perth teachers leaving profession due to 'threatening, pushy parents' says WA Primary Principals Association'', and the minister's comments that a parent liaison office has been established to support the resolution of complaints from parents and carers. Can the minister provide a breakdown of staffing positions, by headcount and FTE, that are currently employed within the parent liaison office?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

The parent liaison office draws on staff throughout the department and regional offices as required. Headcount and FTE for the following positions: manager, parent liaison; parent liaison coordinator; and administration support officer, is one for each.
