A Big “Shout Out” to Kinship and Foster Carers – You are Amazing!

Foster and Kinship Carers Week is a special time for us all to acknowledge and celebrate the incredible contribution carers make to the lives of children and young people in care.

At the Guardian’s office, we meet so many amazing carers and hear their stories. Most importantly, we see first-hand the difference they make to a child’s life when they open up their hearts and homes, and welcome children into their families.

Celebrating National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day

Today, the team were out at Parafield Gardens, celebrating National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day at the Aboriginal Family Support Services ‘Connection to Culture Children’s Day’.
We had resources to give away for little ones (including colouring-in, temporary tattoos and booklets) and fun activities like hand painting and a raffle to win one of our special plush toys. Our beloved safety symbol for First Nations children in care, Nunga Oog, popped in to say hi and have his photo taken throughout the day!
