Welcome

Office of the Guardian for Children and Young People

Ask Shona – call for children and young people to send us their questions!

Do you have a child or young person in your care who would like to ask a question to Shona, the new Guardian?

We are calling out to children and young people with a care experience to ask Shona a question – it could be about Shona herself (‘How many pairs of shoes do you have?’), the advocacy work of our office, or about life in care, like connecting to culture and if they really do need to eat all their greens.

We are wanting children and young people from all ages and around the state to get involved. 

Questions can be emailed to gcyp@gcyp.sa.gov.au

PLUS if the child/young person would like to be part of a video asking the questions directly to Shona, please let us know and we will be in contact with you!

Emailed questions and expressions of interest to participate in the video closes at 5pm on Monday 31 October 2022.

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.
