Dr E. CONSTABLE

AnswerView source ↗

I can understand the member for Midland’s concern about this issue. I, too, am very concerned about it. I was informed at half past one — Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member! Dr E. CONSTABLE : Mr Speaker, you would be aware that there has been a complete review of these procedures in schools. There were 10 recommendations from the committee that Therese Temby chaired. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member! Dr E. CONSTABLE : Five recommendations have been put in place and work has been done on them. There is ongoing work on the other five recommendations to do with the safety of children and emergency procedures and with other important procedures related to visitors on school grounds. I have called for a full report as soon as possible on the issue that the member for Midland has raised today.
