I shall begin with the government amendments in this group, which all relate to the duty to report child sexual abuse. The duty applies to those in regulated activities, such as teachers and healthcare workers, and those who are engaged in an activity specified in part 2 of Schedule 10. A number of these latter activities are based on legislative references, which include a qualifier of the activity being unsupervised. As Clause 119 removes this qualifier for the purpose of regulated activity, the amendments in my name—Amendments 252, 253, 254, 256, 258, 259 and 260—ensure that Schedule 10 is consistent with this change.
