The State Government has announced it is reviewing the Child Protection Department’s complaints process amid concerns about the departments ‘toxic culture’ and treatment of foster carers. Critics say there is no need for another review, as a previous inquiry already recommended the creation of an independent body. Pressure is continuing to build on embattled Child Protection Minister Katrine Hildyard.
