Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Has Families SA now visited the property which had 10 children living in squalor to check on their wellbeing and safety? In October 2014, Families SA was made aware of 10 children living in squalid conditions yet rejected any offers to visit the property through the Eastern Health Authority.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (15:06): I won't comment in public about the status of a particular investigation for a multitude of reasons. As the member for Adelaide is well aware, if she gets the appropriate disclosure authorities, I am more than happy to arrange for a briefing for her.
