- Summary:
-
This is the final report of the Queensland Child Protection Commission of Inquiry. The inquiry was established on 1 July 2012 to review the performance and effectiveness of the child protection system in Queensland. The Inquiry was also asked to develop a 10 year plan on creating and delivering the best possible system that the state can afford. This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of the Inquiry, as well as a new roadmap for child welfare. The public perception of a system under stress is justified. Over the last decade, child protection intakes have tripled, the rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care has tripled, the number of children in out-of-home care has more than doubled, and children in care are staying there for longer periods. However, the Inquiry believes this situation can be turned around, with reforms that divert families from the statutory system, support vulnerable families, support children leaving care, support the child protection workforce, and improve public confidence.
