Child Protection Audit: Dr. Geoffrey Shannon
9:00 am
Dr. Geoffrey Shannon:
It is important there is public accountability while at the same time protecting the anonymity of the child. This would be important in any proper public discourse on child protection. We need a provision that balances the privacy rights of parties as well as providing us with an accurate picture of how the family and child protection system operates.
