working with others
We work with many other groups and agencies, and much of the work we do relies on our relationships with others. By working together, we can achieve so much more to build strong families and keep our children and young people safe and well cared for.
We are working with Child Matters to deliver child protection workshops around the country to teachers, health professionals, social service providers, or anyone working with families. The workshops support our 'Working together to keep children and young people safe' guide for professionals.

There are lots of people in the community who can give our kids opportunities, good experiences and be great role models.
