Overview
- Released on Monday, the Child Death Review Board’s report concludes Griffith’s offending could and should have been detected and disrupted earlier.
- The review identifies 18 potential intervention points, including five clear missed opportunities, along with 13 events that enabled the abuse to continue.
- It finds warning signs were recorded across agencies yet not shared, the blue card system operated passively without alerting employers, and employers often moved him on without systematic escalation.
- Griffith was ultimately detected only after uploading abuse material from Italy in 2022, rather than through earlier concerns raised by children, parents and staff.
- The Queensland government says it will fast‑track a reportable conduct scheme and pursue broader reforms informed by the report’s 28 recommendations.
