Why isn there a Child Wellbeing Unit for non-government organisations?
The Special Commission of Inquiry did not recommend the establishment of a Child Wellbeing Unit for non-government organisations (NGOs) as they represent a relatively small number of reports (eight per cent) to Community Services spread across a large number of organisations, while NSW Health, Department of Education and Training, NSW Police Force, and Department of Human Services are responsible for 60 per cent of all reports, and therefore require centralised support. The KTS Support Line (1800 772 479) can provide assistance in using the Mandatory Reporter Guide and identifying suitable services to mandatory reporters in NGOs.
