Hornery, Sonia to the
Minister for Education
|
- Why was the International Child Care College at Broadmeadow overlooked
during the Smart and Skilled application process?
- How did the Smart and Skilled application process assess quality, as
indicated in the National Quality Framework assessment criteria, using only
quantitative data?
- Why is there no provision for a review or appeal of decisions under the
Smart and Skilled application process?
|
|
Answer -
|
- International Child Care College at Broadmeadow was not overlooked in the
Smart and Skilled application process. It was assessed under the same
eligibility and assessment criteria applied to all applications.
- Smart and Skilled contract applications assessment considered all
information provided in the applications. This information was not quantitative
data only.
- The governance of the application process met high standards of rigour and
probity. Robust governance arrangements were in place throughout the
application process, including external probity advice. The process operated
within the NSW Government Procurement Guidelines. The Department of Education
and Communities offered organisations a review process if they felt they had
been unfairly excluded or disadvantaged by the application process.
