Abstract
It has been a horror year for early childhood education and care in Australia, amid ongoing reports and allegations of abuse in the sector.
On Monday, a new ABC investigation identified almost 150 childcare workers have been convicted, charged, or accused of sexual abuse and inappropriate conduct.
As part of its push to improve safety in early childhood centres, the federal government is about to trial CCTV in hundreds services.
But a recent data hack of a London-based nursery chain (known as daycare in Australia) shows how vulnerable sensitive information about children and their families can be.
Before surveillance becomes an accepted part of early childhood education and care, we need to ask, what are the risks of having CCTV around kids?
