Presentation from Paula Attrill
Principal Advisor for the Ministry of Social Development Investing in Children Programme, Paula Attrill visited Christchurch on 2 December 2016 to present on the programme.
Background - In response to the recommendations of the Expert Panel’s Final Report, the Government agreed that a bold and urgent overhaul of the care and protection and youth justice systems was required.
The Investing in Children Programme, formed in April 2016, is tasked with leading the fundamental shift required to achieve better outcomes for vulnerable children. This includes developing a system which prioritises the earliest opportunity for a stable and loving family, and enables all children to feel a sense of identity, belonging and connection.
The reform programme takes a cross-sector, social investment approach, and draws on the experience and expertise of professionals, communities, caregivers, young people and families.
This is a long-term transformation programme over four to five years.
