Erica Stanford: Abuse in Care response Lead Minister on the Government's new law changes designed to prevent abuse in care

View descriptionShare

The Government's taking steps towards preventing any more abuse in care going forward.

It's introducing a bill tomorrow prompted by the Abuse in Care inquiry, after the Prime Minister's national apology.

The bill includes a ban on strip-searching children - and stronger regulations on who can work with children. 

Minister-in-Charge Erica Stanford says the Government is looking to utilise full-body scanners in the future to prevent young people from being strip-searched.

"Instead, we'd be putting in place individual search plans  where young people knew what was going to happen and they had more control over how it happened."
