Launch: Groundswell Child Safe Organisations Applied Practice Standards 2 & 3

What does it look like in practice when children and young people are genuinely listened to – working hand in hand with agencies to solve complex problems and strengthen child safe organisations across out-of-home care.

Join us for the online launch of the Groundswell Applied Practice Standards – Child Safe Organisations Standards 2 & 3, developed through the Groundswell Consortium to support the practical application of child safe principles across Queensland’s out-of-home care sector.

The Applied Standards were developed through a collaboration between the Groundswell Younger People Advisory Group, UnitingCare Community, Praxis Solutions, Safe Places for Children, Kalwun Development Corporation, Inala Community House, Foundations Care, Anglicare Southern Queensland, Life Without Barriers, and the Youth Advocacy Centre with support from CREATE Foundation, PeakCare and QATSICPP.

Funded by the Queensland Family and Child Commission through the Child Safe Organisations Grant Program, the work brought together the perspectives of young people with lived experience and organisations delivering services to children and young people to explore what child safe standards look like when applied in practice.

This webinar will share the story behind the work, what was learned through its development, and the hopes of young people and participating organisations for how the Applied Standards can strengthen child safe practice.

We invite organisations, practitioners and others working with children and young people to join us to hear directly from those involved and explore how the Applied Standards can support child safe practice.
