I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The casework practice manual outlines child
protection practice and details guidance for all child protection matters. The safety and wellbeing of a child or young person in these
placements continue to be monitored by their caseworker. The child or young
person continues to have access to all the same supports as any other child in
care.
(2)–(3) I table section
3.4.23, ''Unendorsed placements''.
