JUVENILE OFFENDERS —
MONITORING
375. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the answer to my question
without notice 263, in which the Minister for Police reported —
� 35 reportable offenders under the age
of 18 are attending high school. This figure may vary because there is no
reporting obligation to advise police when they cease attending �
(1) Given the ''Multi-Agency
Protocols for Education Options for Young People Charged with Harmful Sexual
Behaviours'' lists ''Agreement on attendance at support programs
and release of information for sharing between all professionals'' as an
ongoing management consideration, why is the Department of Education failing to
advise police when reportable offenders cease attending school?
(2) What steps will the minister
take to rectify this untenable situation?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The protocols
were established to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students in schools.
Information is shared when students move from one public school to another.
(2) The protocols
were put in place by this government to manage safety arrangements for school
students when a young person at that school is charged with harmful sexual
behaviours. Prior to this protocol, the previous Liberal–National
government had no such arrangements in place.
