Sinopse

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."
