Parents send their young children to childcare trusting they’ll return home each day safely. 

But families are in shock after a Victorian childcare worker was charged with 70 offences, including sexual assault and producing child abuse material. The alleged victims were as young as 5 months old. 

The staff member had worked at 20 different centres and held a valid Working with Children Check. 

Today, Caroline Croser-Barlow from The Front Project, which works to improve early childhood education, on whether the system is safe and how governments can fix it.
