The Tasmanian Liberal Government continues to make positive reforms to the Child Safety system through the Strong Families Safe Kids Next Steps Action Plan 2021-23.
Strong Families Safe Kids is built on the principle that the safety and wellbeing of children, young people and families are improved through cross-sector collaboration with a focus on providing better support to families earlier.
The Next Steps Action Plan included 34 actions against five key priority areas focused on consolidating changes our Government has already made to the Children Safety system.
Today, I am releasing the Strong Families Safe Kids: Next Steps Progress Report, which outlines our Government’s key achievements during the first year of the plan.
Some of these highlights include:
We have achieved a lot in the first year of implementing Strong Families Safe Kids: Next Steps and our Government will continue to work to deliver the remaining actions going forward.
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the implementation of Strong Families Safe Kids.
Tasmanians’ priorities are our priorities and we look forward to continuing our work to deliver better outcomes and improved safety and wellbeing for Tasmanian children, young people and their families.
Our Government is strengthening the future for all Tasmanians.
