Annual Report 2005-06
Our second full-year annual report for 2005-06 illustrates how the department has continued to rebuild Queensland's child protection system. By 30 June 2006, the department had implemented 95 of the 110 recommendations outlined in the Crime and Misconduct Commission report, Protecting children: an inquiry into abuse of children in foster care.
The achievements outlined in this report are testimony to the work of departmental staff, our service delivery partners in both the government and non-government sector, and our foster carers who have all worked with us to develop new and more effective child protection responses.
Caring for children and young people is the responsibility of the entire community and we encourage you as you read this report, to consider how you can contribute to the ongoing protection of vulnerable children and young people in your local community.
For ease of access and reading online, the report has been made available in sections. A full version of the Department of Child Safety: Annual Report 2005-06 (PDF 2.6 MB) is also available.
