Inquiry Launched into Qld Child Safety System
Below can be attributed to Act for Kids:
Act for Kids welcomes a commission of inquiry to promote learning and explore ways to strengthen the child protection system.
As a society our goal must always be to protect children and their right to live safe, healthy lives.
Any review that can guide individuals, communities and government on improved ways to keep our kids safe should always be advocated for.
Sadly, many stories have emerged of children being harmed in Queensland’s out-of-home care system. This is unacceptable and requires urgent action to address.
Act for Kids strongly believes the call for a system review does not and should not tarnish the incredible work of the majority of child safety workers and providers, who work extremely hard every day to care for children and provide the safe environments they need to thrive.
