SCHOOLS — CHILDREN WITH HARMFUL SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS
954. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the minister's
answer to my question without notice on 18 October 2022 that revealed that at
the start of term 4, one alleged or convicted offender continues to be at the
same school as the victim and has been now for eight school terms.
(1) Under the
protocol, will the department be informed when the charges laid against the
student have been finalised by the court?
(2) Has this
occurred?
(3) Did the
charges result in a conviction?
(4) If yes to
(3), will the minister undertake to obtain a briefing about the full history of
this case so that the minister can verify whether the protocol is either
operating as intended or is in need of improvement?
