Inaugural Quality Practice Awards
The safety and wellbeing of children and young people is absolutely paramount and child protection staff work tirelessly to achieve this. They work long hours, make tough decisions and see the real horrors of child abuse. They are big-hearted and open-minded and make a real difference to the lives of our most vulnerable children.
Child protection work can also be stimulating, satisfying and extremely rewarding, especially when staff achieve outstanding outcomes that improve the lives of children and families.
The Department of Child Safety Inaugural Quality Practice Awards are an opportunity to recognise the quality child protection practice that is undertaken by staff in service centres and zonal offices on a daily basis.
These awards recognise the difference that Child Safety staff make to the lives of children and families.
