From the Chief Executive
Good afternoon,
I am very pleased to welcome you to the latest edition of the Regulatory Bulletin, my first since joining the Education Standards Board (ESB) in late April.
Over the past few weeks, I have been meeting with many stakeholders and getting across and into the business of the ESB. I have been especially impressed, with the level of dedication and commitment shown by the ESB Board, staff, and sector in upholding and strengthening the quality of care and safety across the schools and early childhood sector. I look forward to continuing to meet with many of you and working together to ensure we meet the high standards we expect for our children and families.
You may notice a few changes in this edition. We are keen to ensure it is as informative and useful to you as possible and so while we have made a few minor adjustments, we are keen to hear from you about what you would like us to cover, how often and topics of interest. Please take a few minutes to complete the short survey that will help us tailor the Bulletin to topics and issues that you want to read about, share or perhaps better understand.
I also encourage you, if you have not already, to provide your thoughts on the National Child Safety Review. It is currently open for public consultation and closes on Wednesday, 11 June 2025.
I’m excited about the future of the ESB and look forward to working with all of you to make a positive difference across the sector.
Regards,
Benn Gramola
