Family Inclusion

A Statement of Belief:

Children and young people in the child protection system remain part of their families and as such remain important stakeholders in the child protection process.

Therefore partnership with parents is fundamental regardless of difficulties such as age, gender, disability, mental health status, socio-economic status or criminal record.

Parents, life and cultural circumstances must and will be respected by all involved in the Family Inclusion Network Queensland (Townsville).
