Education Ministers have agreed to further child safety reforms. National consultation is now underway to gather perspectives on implementation of these agreed reforms.
Have your say on implementation of the 7 reform areas:
-
Supervision practices
Ensure the organisation of educators across the service supports children's safety, learning development and ensures adequate supervision, and strengthen sector capability to understand the role of supervision in promoting children's safety.
-
Increasing transparency for families
Access to robust and accessible information on the quality and safety of education and care services to empower families to make informed decisions about the service they choose to send their children to.
-
Persons with management or control (PMC) fitness and propriety
Broaden the range of regulatory responses to ensure PMCs are, and remain, fit and proper to be involved in the provision of an education and care service.
-
Suspension, supervision and training directions and related information sharing provisions
Bring the application of directions in line with existing approaches under the National Law.
-
Increased whistleblower protections
Create a safe environment for individuals to raise concerns when children's safety is at risk and safeguard those who act in the best interests of children.
-
Updating quality ratings for approved providers during/immediately following an investigation
Enable regulatory authorities to update the status of a quality rating during or immediately following an investigation. This aims to increase transparency for families.
-
Safer fencing
Improve service safety and increase awareness of safety risks associated with fencing in centre-based services.
