Erica Stanford: Abuse in Care response Lead Minister on the Government's new law changes designed to prevent abuse in care - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Government's taking steps towards preventing any more abuse in care going forward.

It's introducing a bill tomorrow prompted by the Abuse in Care inquiry, after the Prime Minister's national apology.

The bill includes a ban on strip-searching children - and stronger regulations on who can work with children. 

Minister-in-Charge Erica Stanford says the Government is looking to utilise full-body scanners in the future to prevent young people from being strip-searched.

"Instead, we'd be putting in place individual search plans  where young people knew what was going to happen and they had more control over how it happened."
