Why You’re Important to Me

The ten minute video DVD Why You’re Important to Me was delivered this week to all Families SA Offices, the DFC School of Learning and Development and the Flinders and UniSA schools of social work.  It is based on the Report on the Inquiry into the Significance of Quality Contact Between Children and Young People in Care and their Case Workers and  was made with the assistance of Families SA, the Guardian’s Youth Advisors and UniSA.

The DVD can be used for individual or group study in conjunction with materials on the Why You’re Important to Me resources page .
