Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:49): Supplementary: given the minister has stated that not all tier 2 reports are investigated, is there a number of tier 2 reports against a child that would trigger an investigation rather than it just being closed with no action taken? Is there six, and then they will investigate, or 10?

Mr Pengilly interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Finniss is warned. Minister.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:50): At the moment, each notification is taken on its merits, which does include an understanding of what other interactions are occurring with that family, so there isn't a bold number of notifications equals x or y. That would misunderstand the nature of the detail that is provided in each of those notifications.
