Change for Children, Tasmanian’s 10-year Strategy for upholding the rights of children by preventing, identifying and responding to child sexual abuse and the first two-year action plan, Collaborating for Change, have released today for 3 months community feedback.
The draft of the strategy and action plan were created in consultation with:
- Victim-survivors of child sexual abuse
- Families, caregivers, supporters, friends and advocates of victim-survivors
- Children and young people
- Tasmanian Aboriginal people
- People with disability
- Culturally and linguistically diverse communities
- LGBTIQA+ communities
- Specialist sexual violence support services
- Frontline workers and other child safety experts
- Specialist organisations and community groups
- Researchers and subject matter experts
Change for Children is not only a call for change, but plan for change. It moves the Tasmanian Government and its agencies and community organisation partners forward in our commitment – recognising that significant reform is already underway, but much more work is yet to be done.
Tasmanian's can have their say on the draft strategy and action plan by emailing [email protected] before 5pm on 30 September 2024.
