I thank the honourable member for the question. A pilot project involving Perth Children’s Court, Legal Aid and the department commenced in November 2009. It is proposed that over the following 12 months, 100 protection and care matters in the Perth Children’s Court will be diverted to a Signs of Safety pre-hearing conference. There have been 30 pre-hearing conferences to date, and there will be 32 by 1 July 2010. This data is from the March 2010 snapshot of the client database taken on 8 March 2010. Due to a transition to a new client database, only data to 28 February 2010 is currently available.
