澳大利亚儿童保育中心每年5点关闭5次,进行强制性安全培训,这是在虐待丑闻发生后改善儿童保护的全国4 000万美元努力的一部分。 Australian childcare centres will close at 5pm five times a year for mandatory safety training, part of a $40 million national effort to improve child protection following abuse scandals. 改革包括禁止工作人员移动电话,在300个中心试用闭路电视,建立国家工人登记册,以及利用警察数据库进行实时犯罪记录检查。 The reforms include banning staff mobile phones, trialing CCTV in 300 centres, creating a national worker register, and implementing real-time criminal record checks using police databases. 这些变化是在针对一名墨尔本工人的指控之后发生的,该工人被指控在24个中心虐待8名婴儿。 The changes follow allegations against a Melbourne worker charged with abusing eight infants across 24 centres. 最终将儿童保育工作者的工资增加15%有助于减少空缺。 A final 15% wage increase for childcare workers has helped reduce vacancies. 澳大利亚儿童保育联盟支持安全措施,但敦促提供充足资金、向家庭发出预先通知以及业务灵活性。 While the Australian Childcare Alliance supports the safety measures, it urges adequate funding, advance notice for families, and operational flexibility.
