This practice guide is designed to strengthen the capacity of staff in out-of-home care services to actively support and promote the online safety of children and young people in their care.
The Safe and Secure practice guide and framework has been developed through two decades of support to children affected by violence and abuse. The framework offers a sequenced, relationship-based approach to healing and has a specific focus on the mother and child relationship as a significant element of recovery from trauma.
This evaluation provides an overview of the Foundation’s impact with its partners in keeping children and young people safe.
