"Every Queensland child care service will be required to maintain and display a compliance log book under new laws introduced into Parliament. Premier Anna Bligh said the new laws would ensure parents had easy access to information about centres, staff and safety issues.
“Parents are entrusting their children to the care of these services, and they want to be confident their children will be safe and well looked after,” she said. “Parents have a right to know this information. “This is about giving parents access to a range of information to help them make decisions about who they allow to look after their children. The logbooks are the next step in our major reform of the sector to increase accountability, safety and quality, following the launch of the child care compliance website on February 1."
