Mr. Mark Wilson:
Again, I do not have the statistics available to me but I will get them for the Deputy. We reviewed our child protection policy after the Children First Act 2015. The managers of a centre have become the mandated persons for the purposes of making referrals to the Child and Family Agency. We have provided training to those managers and a practice document in support of that. Effectively, the centre manager, as the mandated person, makes the referral to the Child and Family Agency.
