Keeping Queensland’s children More than safe is everybody’s business. We need to all work together so children families and communities are cared for, protected, safe and able to reach their full potential. www.qfcc.qld.gov.au/more-than-safe
Every Child CQ partnered with ARACY to provide training in The Common Approach. Underpinned by four key evidence-based practices (holistic, strengths-based, working in partnership and child-centred) the Common Approach helps practitioners to quickly identify strengths to address clients’ needs, think holistically about child and family well-being, improve family relationships and referral pathways, increase the level of support and follow up for vulnerable families and practitioners’ awareness of their role in preventing abuse and neglect, and facilitates better well-being outcomes for the client.
Every Child CQ’s Community Leadership Board believes we can create lasting change. We are committed to embracing new wisdom, ideas and experience to move towards creating a positive impact in Central Queensland.
The Report outlines what we have achieved so far and what lies ahead for this long-term initiative.
