Final Report of the Inquiry into the application of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle in the removal and placement of Aboriginal children and young people in South Australia.
At the April meeting of Unley Allies, two members presented an overview of April Lawrie’s Report – Holding onto our Future – as Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People.
They also drew our attention to the Children and Young People (Safety and Support) Bill before SA Parliament and the concerns regarding a consideration of “safety” overriding placement principles.
We, the South Australian community, have a lot of work to do to fundamentally transform some of our societal systems.
