(ii) police personnel conduct to the IBAC under section 52 of the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission Act 2011;

(2) Despite subsection (1), a police officer is not required to provide information to a parent of the child if the disclosure of the information would present a risk to the safety of the child or another person.
