Child Protection Storyboard

Monitoring the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children

Welcome to the Child Protection Storyboard

UnitingCare services working with children and families have established the Child Protection Storyboard project to monitor specific commitments made under the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009-2020 (NFPAC).

UnitingCare Australia welcomes the COAG endorsement of Australia’s first National Child Protection Framework and hopes to see a successful implementation of its commitments. This project will tell the story of how those commitments are being implemented via a regular National E-newsletter.

The storyboard process is being applied to projects intended to generate action by highlighting missing tasks and opportunities for change. UnitingCare Australia hopes the Storyboard project will help all stakeholders to understand the sometimes complex tale of how key commitments are implemented. It will also assist with making sense of complex government programs and policies and telling straightforward stories that are easy to understand and easy to track over time.

Child Protection Storyboard is self funded by UnitingCare organisations across Australia and will be working collaboratively with, and seeking wide support from, key interest groups and stakeholders working in the interest of children’s safety and wellbeing.

If you have questions on the Child Protection Storyboard project, please send us an email on . For all media enquires please contact Susan Helyar, National Director, UnitingCare Australia, on 02 6249 6717.
