COUNTERING VIOLENT
EXTREMISM PROGRAM
389. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the countering violent
extremism program jointly operated by the WA Police Force and the Department of
Education, in which the education department has confirmed the 16-year-old boy
who was shot dead by police after stabbing a man in Willetton this week was
enrolled.
(1) Is participation in the program
voluntary?
(2) Can parents, guardians or a school
authority request participation on behalf of a child?
(3) What are the mandated
requirements for participation, including attendance and reporting?
(4) What attainments are required
for completion of the program?
