The City of Stirling in Western Australia is responding to an organisation-wide child safeguarding review that identifies gaps in its policies, processes and practices. The review results in 89 actions, and the mayor says the council still has “a long way to go” on safeguarding.
The West Australian and PerthNow both report the same basic findings and focus on the mayor’s acknowledgement that additional work is required. Both outlets describe the review as comprehensive in scope, covering the organisation’s safeguarding approach rather than a single program or incident. While the outlets emphasise the scale of the task—89 actions—the reporting does not detail the specific recommendations or the timelines for implementation.
Overall, both sources align on the existence of the review, the number of actions identified, and the mayor’s statement indicating ongoing improvement efforts. Differences, if any, are limited to outlet presentation, as neither source provides contrasting interpretations of the review’s conclusions.
