Senior public servants on notice over abuse in care failings

The minister in charge of the Government’s response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care says she expects the acting public service commissioner to consider how to hold the public service accountable, including potentially taking employment action against individuals in government departments.
This week, Erica Stanford will meet Acting Public Service Commissioner Heather Baggott to discuss the report, including how officials responded when survivors tried to raise concerns, make complaints, and seek redress.
