Description

The Department for Child Protection and Family Support (the Department) promotes the safety and wellbeing of young people by providing support to individuals and their parents, families and communities.
Young people who are identified as being ‘at risk’ due to a variety of behavioural, situational and educational factors (see Figure 1) are the focus of this At Risk Youth Strategy 2015-2018 (the Strategy). The Department has a role with these at risk young people including those who are in the care of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Department will provide protection and care to a young person in cases where existing support is insufficient to create safety and promote the wellbeing of that young person within their family.
The Strategy has been developed to guide the Department’s ongoing role in planning and delivering services that support and encourage young people to reach their potential and promote safety in the community.
