1. What if a sensitivity plan is shared with a Youth Justice Service Centre?
In some cases, a client may be subject to intervention by the Department of Justice and Attorney-General (Youth Justice Services), under the Youth Justice Act 1992, and statutory child protection intervention from the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services, under the Child Protection Act 1999.
Where this occurs and a client's electronic and paper files are classified as 'sensitive' by the CSSC and the Youth Justice Service Centre, sensitivity is managed by each point of service delivery. The Child Safety sensitivity manager will only be able to control access for Child Safety officers - they will not be able to control access for Youth Justice Service Centre officers.
When a sensitivity plan has both a CSSC and Youth Justice Service Centre allocated to it, a sensitivity manager from either department can only remove a plan if there are no officers from the other department in the list of officers able to access the plan. Therefore, to remove a joint sensitivity plan, the Child Safety sensitivity manager will need to consult the Youth Justice Service Centre sensitivity manager.
