Every day, we work to improve the child protection and family support system. Our vision during 2015 — 16 was ‘Queensland children and young people are safe, cared for and protected by capable and resilient families and communities’. We are committed to achieving this vision and supporting the delivery of the child protection reform roadmap.
To achieve this we:
- Provide oversight by monitoring, reviewing and reporting on the performance of the system and ensuring reform initiatives are effectively evaluated.
- Enable sustainable improvements in services by working alongside our partners to strengthen the capacity and capability across the child protection workforce.
- Educate parents, families, communities and professionals about how they can keep children and young people safe and the services available to strengthen and support Queensland families.
Our purpose is a direct reflection of this mandate, with children, young people and their families at the heart of everything we do. It emphasises a strong focus on representing the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the importance of partnering with government and non-government organisations to improve child protection and family support services.
