ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES - SEXUAL ABUSE AWARENESS VIDEO
I refer to sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities and a video called My Body Belongs to Me that was produced by the Department of Indigenous Affairs in Perth in 2001 and modified by the Queensland Department of Families in 2003. This video is about raising awareness and lets Aboriginal people and communities know that sexual abuse is not acceptable or okay; that it is not the Aboriginal way. (1) Is this video being shown in primary schools and high schools throughout Western Australia, but particularly in Aboriginal communities in the north west? (2) If not, why not? (3) Is this video readily available in Aboriginal communities? (4) Is this video readily available in libraries throughout Western Australia? (5) Does the Department of Education and Training have any programs in primary schools throughout Western Australia that teach what sexual abuse is? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) Schools are responsible for making decisions about the specific resources they use to support students in achieving these outcomes throughout their schooling. Use of the resource would, therefore, depend on decisions made by each school. (3) One hundred and thirty copies of the video were initially distributed as part of training workshops run by the Department of Indigenous Affairs during 2001 in Halls Creek, Derby, Broome, Kalgoorlie and Perth. Distribution of the video is currently managed by the Department for Community Development. Copies of the video are available in all DCD offices throughout the state. Senior DCD officers have the role of working with Aboriginal communities to provide training in use of the video. DCD is currently converting the video to DVD format for further distribution. (4) The video is not currently available in libraries. (5) All public schools in Western Australia were provided with the resource Growing and Developing Healthy Relationships in 2003. In addition to this, the Department of Health distributed Guiding Principles for the Provision and Practice of Sexual Health Education into all schools in Western Australia in 2003. The Department of Education and Training is also engaged in the delivery of a comprehensive child protection professional learning program for all staff in both primary and secondary schools. The program emphasises legal considerations and obligations, supports preventive approaches to the development of self-protective behaviours for students and makes explicit the rights and responsibilities of children and adults in the school community.
