The Guardian’s submission to the SA Royal Commission on Child Protection Systems

This follows an earlier submission which referred solely to recommendations made by the Guardian from 2005. The second submission refers to previous reports without detailing the findings or recommendations. Most of the reports have been provided to the Commissioner or are available from the GCYP website.[spacer height=”15px”]

The Guardian’s submission surveys the system and the issues facing it and draws on what children and young people have said about their experience and their views of what works best for them.[spacer height=”15px”]
