The following shows the questions that were asked, the Government's attempt to answer, and some comments on the response given by the ACT Government.
Q1. How many public schools in the ACT currently have enclosures that can be used to prevent autistic students from wandering or absconding.
A1. ACT public schools use a variety of enclosed spaces to ensure the safety of all students. These include school perimeter fences, enclosed playgrounds, and enclosed courtyard spaces. Learning Support Units have different forms of play spaces and enclosed spaces and not all units have an enclosed space attached to the classroom. A list of units in schools is located at Attachment A.
The Government's response does not answer the question. A question that says “how many” expects/requires a numeric answer. Hopefully, most primary school students in the ACT understand how to answer such a question.
