CHILDREN IN CARE —
BANKSIA HILL DETENTION CENTRE
624. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to the answer to my
question without notice 600 of 11 June 2019 in which the Leader of the House
informed the house that 27 children in the care of the chief executive officer
of the Department of Communities currently reside at Banksia Hill Detention
Centre.
(1) How many of these children are
a young person who has been sentenced?
(2) Is it the case that the legislative threshold for
a secure care arrangement under section 88C of the Child and Community
Services Act 2004 must be met in order for the CEO to place a child in a secure
care facility?
(3) If yes to (2), how many section
88C secure care arrangements are currently in place in our state?
