The Department for Child Protection in West Australia has chosen November 12, 13 and 14, 2012 for its second Signs of Safety Gathering. All 23 districts from around the state will present as well as three international presentations. This Gathering will provide an end-to-end picture of a comprehensive system-wide Signs of Safety implementation. Participants from overseas and elsewhere in Australia are welcome though places will be limited.
As Baroness Butler-Sloss said in 1988, ‘the child is a person not an object of concern’. The challenge in child protection work is to involve that young person directly in work that is supposed to be all about them. Our new DVD and 54-page workbook called: Of Houses Wizards and Fairies presents the Three Houses and Wizard and Fairy tools for bringing the child's voice dead centre into child protection assessment and planning. This DVD and workbook introduces the tools and illustrates their use through many examples from practitioners from nine different countries.
