Trauma-informed policy and reform in education and child protection
Access to justice for children and young people when systems fail
Evidence-based, resource-backed learning supports as alternatives to exclusion
School environments and communities where all children and young people feel safe and supported
Emphasis on early intervention and increased support for foster and kinship carers to support permanent placements
Promotion of an attachment-based care system that values a child’s primary relationships and recognises the ongoing emotional harm caused by broken attachments and instability
We contribute legal submissions, engage with government inquiries, and elevate the lived experiences of the children and young people we support.

A huge thank you for this opportunity…
Just a huge thank you for this opportunity. J has gone from being disinterested in learning and failing most subjects to re-engaging and not just passing most subjects but getting an A in Science and a B for both HASS and English!
That is a big deal in the potential outcomes for life chances for a young person in care.
