The Centre for Relational Care aims to drive policy debate and lead the development of practical alternative solutions to out-of-home care. Our work is based on evidence that a system that puts child connection and relationship first, works best. We call this a "Child Connection System".
We are building a community of people with extensive and diverse experience in out-of-home care and child protection systems to help guide our work. This includes representatives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, foster and kinship care providers, child protection advocates, academics and other policy experts.
