The Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) has released its review into child safety.
The report from the Review of Child Safety Arrangements under the National Quality Framework (NQF) makes 16 recommendations about:
- physical and online safety
- child supervision
- staffing requirements.
The independent review investigated:
- how well the NQF operates
- how the NQF interacts with national and jurisdictional laws, regulations, policies and practices.
The report found Australia has a very good system of early childhood education and care. However, more can be done to ensure the NQF remains contemporary and fit-for-purpose in the context of child safety.
