My child was abused by a childcare educator at Being Early Education Busby. I've sought access to the CCTV footage to substantiate this claim, but the Department of Education has denied my request, citing the presence of other children in the footage.

Every parent deserves the right to protect their child and ensure their safety, especially when they place their trust in childcare facilities. Having access to CCTV footage is crucial not only to provide proof of misconduct but also to hold those responsible accountable, ensuring they cannot repeat such actions.

In cases of suspected abuse, protecting privacy should not come at the expense of justice and child safety. There are ways to manage privacy concerns, such as blurring the faces of other children or editing footage to focus solely on the incident in question. These are actionable solutions that balance privacy with transparency, and ensure the well-being of all children.

Parents in Busby, NSW and beyond should have the right to review footage when serious allegations are made. Access to footage can provide peace of mind that their children are safe and help prevent further incidences of abuse.

By signing this petition, you will support a parent's right to evidence that is vital for protecting their child and ensure childcare centers are held to account. We urge those in authority to reconsider their stance and implement procedures that allow parents to access such critical information when there are credible allegations of abuse. Stand with us in demanding transparency and safety for our children. Please sign this petition to support this cause.
