The participation and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the decisions that impact the care and protection of their children has long been recognised as critical to improving outcomes. Child Family Community Australia and SNAICC – National Voice for our Children are delivering a webinar discussing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination in child protection on Wednesday, 18th July – 1pm to 2pm AEST. The webinar will be presented by Muriel Bamblett, from VACCA and Candice Butler, from QATSICPP. The participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in decisions promotes continuity of children’s cultural identity, as well as continuity of family and community relationships that are essential to children’s health and wellbeing. This webinar will explore promising initiatives that support the self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and agencies in child protection matters. This webinar will be relevant to all practitioners, service providers and policy makers involved in child protection systems and related services. Find out more and register.
