National Children's Commissioner Anne Hollonds will hold a media conference today to respond to the outcomes of a meeting of federal, state and territory education ministers in relation to improving child safety in childcare settings.
Education ministers from across the nation are meeting in Sydney today, with a rollout of CCTV and mobile phone bans in childcare centres a top priority.
Other measures, including reforms to the Working With Children Check system, are part of a range of initiatives being put in place following allegations of distressing abuse of vulnerable children in childcare centres and media reporting on significant systems failures, leading to extensive community outrage across the country.
National Children's Commissioner Anne Hollonds will respond to commitments being announced by the ministers as well as provide comments on a range of issues related to child safety and wellbeing.
