CHILD PROTECTION — CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE —
ROEBOURNE
66. 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 5 on 12 February 2019, in which the minister advised the house
that in each instance in which a young person charged with or convicted of a sexual
offence attends a public school, every case is monitored, assessed and managed
by the Department of Communities.
(1) As the school
year is now underway, how many such cases is the department currently
monitoring?
(2) Does the
department also monitor such cases in which the young person attends a private
school?

Madam President, I do have an
answer, but I think it is better if I check one element of it, so I am going to
do that. If I can get that done before the end of question time, I will give
the honourable member the answer today; if not, I will give the answer to him
tomorrow.
