National Standards for Foster Care: Statements.
Senator Henry also stressed the need to have residential units inspected, on which there has been a lot of progress. We have no immediate plans to put the social services inspectorate on a statutory basis but I am very happy with the extent to which it is conducting regular, periodic inspections of the various institutions. It is very important work because it sets standards in them.
