The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) is calling on people to contribute to the development of a five-year plan to help deliver the next National Framework for Protecting Children.
Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Services, Alister Henskens said the Plan would be the first of its kind and aimed to support the most vulnerable children and families.
“This Plan will provide a blueprint for a nationally-consistent approach to delivering real and improved outcomes for vulnerable children and families,” Mr Henskens said.
“We want as many people as possible in NSW to have an input into developing this Plan,” he said.
“I call on young people, families, foster and kinship carers, Government and non-Government organisations and sector stakeholders to please take part in its development.”
Mr Henskens said the Plan would focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children; children and young people in out-of-home care; children and families with complex needs; and children living with a disability.
The Minister said people could get involved in the online consultation until 26 July by providing feedback through the Australian Department of Social Services’ Engage website.
