Department for Child Protection

September has been a busy month for all those involved in child protection, with events and celebrations nearly every day as part of National Child Protection Week and Foster and Kinship Carers Week.

Congratulations to Department for Child Protection Riverland Senior Social Worker Anastasia Read who was recently awarded a Churchill Fellowship to investigate family preservation programs in the child protection space for Aboriginal families.

The Department for Child Protection is working with service providers to explore new short-term residential care options for vulnerable children and young people.

The Department for Child Protection is inviting service providers to submit their proposals to develop and deliver a state-wide family group conference service delivery methodology.
