World Care Day Event

Join the Centre this World Care Day as we celebrate the resilience and achievements of children and young people in out-of-home care.

This FREE upcoming webinar will discuss the critical role of lived experience in shaping out-of-home care practices, highlight the Raising Expectations program’s efforts to support care-experienced individuals in pursuing higher education, and showcase OPEN’s resources to inform and support  professionals in the sector.

The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare is committed to amplifying the voices of those with lived experience, ensuring their insights drive improvements in out-of-home care.

Hosted by the Outcomes, Practice and Evidence Network (OPEN), this webinar will feature discussions on the latest research and resources available to practitioners.

The session will include:

• OPEN presenting on our work bringing the best available knowledge from research, practice and lived experience knowledge, resources and tools to support carers and those in care. Come to hear about the recently released Out-of-Home Care and Trauma-Informed Care Spotlight pages and activities to amplify lived experience voices to drive service improvement.  
• From supporting practice, to realising the dreams of those in care, our Raising Expectations initiative supports young people with care experience to access and succeed in vocational and higher education, opening doors to brighter futures.

Come along for the opportunity to learn, share, and connect with others dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people in care. Stay tuned for more details, including our lineup of speakers and topics.  Full session program to be released soon
