Child sex charges prompt urgent safety review in Victoria

from SBS News In Depth

The federal government says it will be seeking new powers to strip childcare centres of funding if they don't meet safety standards. It follows revelations Victorian police have arrested a childcare worker and laid 70 charges relating to alleged sex offences. Victoria is also bringing in a number of its own reforms, and fast-tracking the already planned federal ban on mobile phones in centres.
