Let’s partner for better outcomes: How the national Safe and Supported Framework and Action Plans are shifting outcomes for children and their families.

Sep 6 2023

Save

Children thrive in safe and supported communities. In 2023, the first Action Plans for the Safe & Supported: National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children were released.

In this webinar, those closely involved in leading this work will discuss how these action plans will make a difference to the lives of children and their families across Australia.

In particular we are excited to hear about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Action Plan which was developed with First Nations young people, families and organisations. It has a focus on early intervention and prevention measures at a child, family and system level which is crucial to keeping more First Nations families together and safe.

Presenters:

Dr Paul Gray, Associate Professor, Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research
Tim Crosier, Manager, Children’s Policy Branch, Department of Social Services

STEM Hour: Integrating Arts into STEM for Meaningful Exploration

In early childhood, STEM learning builds on children’s prior knowledge, encourages collaboration, and nurtures creative thinking — making it a natural partner to the Arts.
