In April–May 2017 the NSW Office of the Children's Guardian and the NSW Ombudsman's office conducted presentations and workshops across the state to promote the updated Voluntary Out-of-home Care Procedures and inform voluntary out-of-home care agencies about their responsibilities under the monitoring framework and Employment Related Child Protection (the NSW Ombudsman’s reportable conduct scheme). More than 200 staff from agencies registered to provide voluntary-out-of-home care attended in Armidale, Ballina, Bega, Campbelltown, Coffs Harbour, Dubbo, Gosford, Newcastle, Parramatta, Port Macquarie, Shellharbour, Surry Hills, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga.
QandAs coming soon
We are preparing a set of questions and answers from the roadshow sessions, and these will be available soon.
If you have any questions about the following presentations or the voluntary out-of-home care program in general please contact the Office of the Children's Guardian on 02 8219 3600 or email voohc@kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au
