Signs of Safety Meetings in Western Australia

As part of its system-wide implementation of the Signs of Safety, the Department for Child Protection in Western Australia is moving to use Signs of Safety meetings as a key mechanism for building and focusing professional and family collaboration on child safety. The promotional flyer for promoting these meetings is linked here. The first phase of using Signs of Safety meetings was focused on pre-birth planning with pregnant mothers facing high-risk situations. The outcomes of the first year's meetings have been evaluated and the outcomes impressive, including a 30% reduction in child removals for this cohort.
