Amendment of Finding 5 and Finding 6 from Report No.8
Committee on the Commissioner for Children and Young People (2008 - 2013)· 29 March 2012numbered_reportNo. 8
This WA parliamentary committee report amends two findings from a previous report (Report No. 8) regarding working with children checks. The amended findings clarify that while an independent body could administer these checks, it's appropriate for the Department for Child Protection to continue doing so in WA, given the Commissioner for Children and Young People's broader focus.
Impact
The findings may influence the statutory review of the Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004 (WA), potentially affecting how these checks are administered and who is responsible.
