Case of accused Melbourne childcare paedophile highlights need for national register of workers, education minister says | Childcare Australia

Federal Education Minister Jason Clare wants a national child care workers and employment history database, which can be accessed at a button after the revelation of Pedophil Joshua Dale Brown, which was initially working in more centers than thought.

Another Child Care Center was found to be between Victoria’s sexual crime team shortly after the detectives, Brown was among the working history, and in the other 10 centers, four children’s care centers were added with additional employment dates.

In addition to working in a child vocational therapy service, an additional center takes the sum of Brown’s known child -care workplaces to 23, but the police warned that üzerine more updating in the coming weeks ”.

As a result, health authorities suggested that approximately 800 additional children be tested for sexually transmitted infections.

Speaking in Sunrise on Wednesday morning, Clare described the situation as a “nightmare için for families.

“More parents, all the fear and anxiety that their children can be sick – and spend all the trauma that children should pass,” he said.

“The Victoria government and the authorities do everything they can to watch the place they work.

“However, this is an example of why you need a database or register, so you know where all child care workers are and where they move from the center to the center. This is just one of the things we need to do.”

Clare said the authorities should “press a button” and know the work history of Brown.

“This is a lively investigation, so let’s park this individual case,” he said. “We must have a system that tells us where all workers are, in which centers they work, and whether they cross individual boundaries.”

This month, the Victoria government would develop its own child care worker registration system while waiting for the establishment of a national plan. It will also require all child care centers to adopt the federal ban on personal devices until September 26 or face up to $ 50,000.

When the reforms were announced, the state’s Children’s Minister Lizzie Blandthorn said that national reforms are moving at a “annoying slow” speed.

Victoria police announced that in May, Brown was accused of more than 70 crimes against eight alleged victims in May, five months and two years old.

In addition to the health department, civil servants tried to contact approximately 2,600 families with children who participated in the centers, and 1,200 children were advised to directly contact with browns and scan for CYBE.

After Tuesday’s update, this has now rose to about 3,500 families and 2,000 children for tests.

Police said that the establishment of Brown’s full working history was “extremely complex” because child care providers do not have central records. This meant that the detectives çöbür conducting call orders to obtain handwritten records, shift cadres and other critical information ”.

On Tuesday, the training provider G8 wrote to parents to tell parents to tell Parents on August 24, 2023 at World of Learning in Point Cook.

This was not listed by the police and the government website, which lists Brown’s employment.

The G8 said Brown’s “any day” work at World of Learning Point Cook had no record and apologized for not providing information earlier. The company said the information was transferred to the police.

Victoria also announced that he had an investigation about child care safety in the state, led by former South Australian Prime Minister Jay Weatherill and a senior bureaucrat Pamela White. It is thought that CCTV is compulsory between centers.

The G8 and Affinity Education Group, who employed Brown, said that they would implement or accelerate the presentation of the CCTV to all centers of CCTV, regardless of the findings of the investigation.

Clare, which will bring legislation to the parliament when it sat down to reduce financing to child care centers that do not meet safety standards, supported more CCTV.

He said, “He will prevent bad people from acting bad in our centers, but the worst will help the police in his investigations,” he said.

However, CLEE rejected calls that prevent men from working in the child care industry.

“Targeting Blokes is not a solution,” he said. “If we go back and take a look at the examples of abuse and neglect in our centers, this is not only men, but also women.”
