608. Hon
NICK GOIRAN to the Minister for Education and Training:
I refer to the minister's
answer to question without notice 370 that as at 20 May 2022, two alleged or
convicted offenders were attending the same public school as their victims.
(1) As at the
start of term 3, were the two alleged or convicted offenders still at the same
school as their victims?
(2) What is the
current total number of alleged or convicted offenders who are attending the
same public school as their victims?
(3) What is the
current total number of students who have been identified as having engaged in
harmful sexual behaviours?
(4) Is the
minister aware of any offenders attending the same private school as their
victims?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. Only one
of the two students remains at the same school.
(2) Two.
(3) In 2017, the
McGowan government put in place the protocol to manage safety arrangements for
school students when a young person at a school is charged with harmful sexual
behaviours. Prior to this, under the Liberal–National government, no
such arrangements were in place. Between February 2017 and 9 August 2022, the
Department of Education received 167 police notifications for public school
students under this protocol, and 25 have also been received for students
enrolled in non-government schools.
