NSW: Protection of children compromised - report = 2
The report is called DOCS - Critical Issues: Concerns arising from investigations intothe Department of Community Services.
It reveals that in about one-quarter of cases involving DOCS staff, the departmenttook more than nine months to notify the Ombudsman's office despite a 30-day time limit.
The authors say they're also concerned that DOCS may not be reporting all allegations of abuse.
Investigations are ongoing into allegations against two child care workers, a councilemployee and a foster carer who was also a former DOCS caseworker.
