This annual report provides detail on the many achievements and successes of the Queensland Family and Child Commission in 2020–21.
Despite the ongoing challenges COVID-19 presented, the Commission continued to carry out meaningful and influential work to protect the rights of children and young people in Queensland.
A refreshed strategic agenda saw us place further emphasis on bringing children’s rights to life and on ensuring that every child is safe, with opportunities to succeed. We are pursuing this by raising awareness of the rights of young Queenslanders, advocating for what matters to them and holding to account the systems responsible for the safety and wellbeing of our most vulnerable children and young people.
We have adapted and evolved during the past 12-months, making sure the voices of more young Queenslanders are being heard on issues that matter to them.
This annual report highlights our work on responding to and preventing the deaths of children and our ongoing engagement with our partners and colleagues on issues that matter to children, young people and families.
