I refer to the Minister’s press statement titled, “Western Australian schools to safely open for learning in Term 1” (25 January 2022) which states “all 900 public education facilities in WA have been inspected to check the ventilation of every classroom” and the reference to the Department of Education’s ventilation strategy, and I ask will the Minister table a copy of the ventilation inspection audit that was conducted by the Department in all public education facilities across the State?

As part of the Department of Education’s ventilation strategy, over 47,000 occupiable spaces in public education facilities were individually reviewed against detailed technical specifications developed in line with national and international ventilation guidelines.
The results of the ventilation assessments are recorded in a technical database, not in a report format. School-level protocols were informed by database analytics relevant to each school.
