Breaking the cycle of Indigenous disadvantage in child protection
Breaking the cycle of Indigenous disadvantage in child protection
This project worked with a government agency and an Indigenous peak body to develop an action plan to address the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families in the child protection system.
Alexandra partnered with Kristal Kinsela Consulting for this work. Kristal is a proud and passionate Indigenous business leader who is an expert at connecting people and moving them into action.
Over six months in 2022 we engaged with a range of stakeholders through workshops, one–on-one discussions and small group sessions, to understand their perspectives and identify priorities.
The engagement culminated in a full day forum with 158 people from:
- Government agencies
- Non-Indigenous peak bodies
- Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peak bodies
- Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander community controlled organisations
- Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander communities
- Out-of-home care sector employees.
