A report has been tabled in Parliament today to bolster child safety in early learning services across Western Australia (WA).

While WA already has a strong regulatory framework, Early Childhood Minister Sabine Winton last month ordered a snap review by the Department of Communities’ Education and Care Regulatory unit (ECRU) to identify opportunities to further strengthen the system.

The report presents five recommendations, covering a range of themes including legislation, sector quality controls, elevation of training, and reporting and endorsement of national aligned policies.
