A warning that the following story is about alleged child abuse 

Calls to strengthen working with children checks have intensified after childcare giant, Goodstart, allegedly failed to properly report complaints about a male employee.

Yesterday, an ABC investigation revealed that despite the man being banned by the Education Department over allegations of child abuse, his checks remained valid.
