Carenne keeping the department in the dark on serious incidents

Carenne whistleblower nedkelly has claimed that Carenne Special School staff have been failing to report serious incidents at the school to the department.

According to departmental guidelines, the principal is required to notify the School Safety and Security Unit when a major incident occurs. Major incidents required to be reported are the assault of students or staff, the presence of Police due to an incident and unfavourable media or community attention on the school.

Nedkelly said that she has been told that the school doesn't report incidents as required by the department because it "makes the school look bad". Nedkelly said that when the Police are called on students the department is usually not aware of it. Nedkelly claims to have questioned Neil Moon about this and was told that it was none of her business.

Nedkelly also claims that when a student overdosed on a teacher's pain medication last year and needed to be taken to the hospital that staff were directed by Lyn Duncan and Lee Churches to keep quiet about the incident. The local school education director only became aware of the incident after another whistleblower contacted him.

Carenne Special School continues to defy department policy and cover-up the truth about what is happening at this school of horrors.
