Ms Burch: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Since the Human Rights Commission issued its Report in July, there have been a number of operational procedures that have been added or changed which build on the previous Change Management Strategy.

These include changes to case management procedures; risk classification procedures; induction and training procedures; arrangements concerning emergency management; formalisation of operational procedures for Unit Managers and Team Leaders (Post Orders); and a review of risk management processes across Bimberi.

A formal review of all policies and procedures is currently being undertaken as part of the development of the Integrated Management System (IMS).
