COVID-19 has impacted our children and young people’s mental health – what can we do to help?

COVID-19 has dominated the news headlines and fundamentally changed the way we all live. With the ever-changing restrictions, lockdowns and isolation from loved ones, it’s understandable that it’s been a confusing and challenging time, particularly for children and young people. Missing out on school, hanging out with their friends and cousins, cuddles from grandparents and the changing rules are taking a toll now and likely into the future. Although we occasionally hear about the toll the pande...

Proud in Culture, Strong in Spirit

This year’s theme for National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day was Proud in Culture, Strong in Spirit. As with all Australian children, it is important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to be able to maintain strong connections to their family, community, culture and Country. Too often though, child protection systems seemingly lack the understanding of, or deprioritise, cultural connection. This can have negative consequences for Aboriginal and Torres Strai...

Building communities that keep children safe from domestic and family violence

Every child, in every community, needs a safe home. Yet we know that far too many children are living with violence every day.

The conversation included: What children and young people are telling us about their experi...

Every child and young person deserves to learn about what respectful relationships look like

How do we make this happen? The topics of respectful relationships education and consent have been widely discussed this year. What we now know is it’s not just up to schools to be having these conversations – it’s up to the whole community. Every child and young person in every community deserves to have access to respectful relationships education, no matter what school they go to, where they’re from or how old they are. This webinar heard from a parent/journalist, a teacher and a worker in th...

How can we ensure children and young people with disability receive a fair go?

Children and young people with disability are more likely to experience abuse and are significantly overrepresented in the child protection system due to increased risk. This increased risk is not about the disability itself but rather is due to the things that children and young people with disability commonly experience like; having more reliance on others for care and support, being socially isolated, lacking a trusted adult or way to communicate with someone who can help, or lacking the righ...

What you can do together you can never do alone

Organisations working together for children and families Not-for-profit organisations including faith-based organisations and institutions often see each other as strategic competitors. But what if we saw each other as allies? Allies working together towards a community where children thrive and families are supported. This webinar provided learning and practice examples of how community organisations can work together to achieve a common goal. Featuring voices from the local community, the webi...

What does a community need for every child to thrive?

Learn about some of the unexpected factors that shape how kids do in life. To treat all of Australia’s children fairly, we need to make sure every family and community has what kids need to thrive and be healthy. Not every child or community has what they need. And not everyone thinks about children’s wellbeing as a responsibility for communities and society, rather than just families. Our understanding of what children need to thrive is constantly adapting as our world changes around us. As we ...
