2074. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:
I refer to my question on notice 441, answered on 6 December 2017, and I ask:
(a) has a new security and classification tool now been implemented;
(b) if yes to (a), will the Minister please provide information about the tool, including:
(i) how the security classifications of individual young people are determined;
(ii) the different security classifications available;
(iii) how often each young person’s security classification is reviewed;
(iv) the numbers of young people currently accommodated at Banksia Hill Detention in each security classification;
(v) how the security classification is used to determine where young people will be accommodated;
(vi) whether young people with different security classifications are accommodated together;
(vii) whether there is now an established minimum-security regime;
(viii) if yes to (vii), please describe this regime; and; and
(ix) if no to (vii), why not;
(c) if yes to (a), has the tool been evaluated;
(d) if yes to (c), will the Minister please table a copy of the evaluation;
(e) if no to (c), why not;
(f) if no to (d), why not; and
(g) if no to (a), why not?
Hon Stephen Dawson replied:
(a) No.
(b)–(f) Not applicable.
(g) A security classification tool has not been implemented to date due to the focus being on the stabilisation of the Centre. Banksia Hill Detention Centre utilise a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach which informs the level of intervention and care for a young person and the most appropriate accommodation placement based on their needs.
Work is continuing on the development and implementation of a new security and assessment tool.
