From Queensland , an acting executive director of NT Families and Children -Ms Clare Gardiner-Barnes- has been appointed for the period January 4- July 30. During this time efforts will be made to make a permanent appointment to FACS.
The position was previously held by Ms Jenny Scott who stepped down and is expected to take up another position in the NT Public Service.
Ms Gardiner-Barnes has been involved in implementing the Smarter Schools National Partnership Agreements in the Queensland Department of Education and Training . Before that she was acting assistant director of general student services with responsibility for policy interpretation of disability services, child protection, health and well being, behavior management and students at risk.
In a typical piece of understatement, Health and Families said that in recent times NTFC has attracted significant public attention, and in the first few months of the New Year the division will be the subject of a review of child protection services, announced last month by the former Minister for Children and Families , Ms Malarndirri McCarthy
