In March 2004, a Blueprint was released for implementing the 110 recommendations of the January 2004 Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) report, Protecting children: an inquiry into abuse of children in foster care and the December 2003 audit of foster carers subject to child protection notifications.
In just six short and intense months of activity, the child safety reform agenda being led by the new Department of Child Safety has fully completed 18 of the CMC's recommendations. Overall, implementation is on track for the majority of the CMC recommendations to be fully implemented by the beginning of 2006.
