Text

The Minister has failed to answer my question, even though she had time to get the data that I seek. That does nothing to assuage my concerns that the Department of Justice and, indeed, the PSNI are refusing to promote the child protection disclosure scheme, meaning that parents are the last to know if there is a risk to their child. Will the Minister commit to informing the House of her plans to promote the child protection disclosure scheme in the future so that parents will not be the last to know?
