2. Questions regarding children in the child protection system should be directed to the Minister for Child Protection. However, I can advise that during the financial year 2020-2021, there were 33 distinct young people between the age of 10 and 13 years old, recorded as being in the care of the CEO, and who were in detention, subject to a community corrections order, or had spent time on both.
