Independent Regulator interviewed for podcast - Badge of Betrayal

30 April 2026

The Independent Regulator, Louise Coe, was interviewed for the podcast Badge of Betrayal, about the legislative amendment to specify the Police Service as an entity in the Child and Youth Safe Organisation Act 2023 and the importance of oversight in child safety.

Louise explains why:

  • independent oversight matters
  • the Reportable Conduct Scheme exists
  • all organisations’ interactions with vulnerable young people require close scrutiny, including police.

This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics related to child safety.
