1614. Mr M Waters (DA) to ask the Minister of Social Development:
How many (a) state and (b) private sector social workers have been screened
against the Child Protection Register? NW1960E
Reply:
The Register does not disaggregate the screening of social workers
according to whether they are state or private. The employer submits
information of employees on Form 29 for screening against the Register. The
department responds by notifying the employer about the outcome of the
inquiry. The notification the department sends to the employer contains
name, surname and I.D. number of the employee that has been screened.
