What a year it's been and we're still in Term 1!
Appreciating that you've thought of little else than COVID-19
and its impact on school life this term, I have resisted the
temptation to write more about this in these Notes.
Rather, we have a note about the National Redress Scheme and a
reminder that schools only have until 30 June 2020 to join the
Scheme. The Scheme is one of the outcomes of the Royal Commission
into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. In this issue,
we look at two more outcomes in the form of new legislation in NSW
and Queensland: the Children's Guardian Act 2019 (NSW)
and changes to the Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld), both of
which commenced at the start of this month.
