In January this year, Nanny SA became the 55th organisation to endorse the Charter of Rights for Children and Young People in Care.  Nanny SA is part of the Hessal Group and provides staff to fill short term vacancies in Families SA houses for young people in care.

Nanny SA CEO Peter Emmerton said, ‘Supporting rights is an important part of what we do here and some of the rights in the Charter will be applicable to all the young people we encounter, not just those in care’.

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
