On the Road Again
In recent weeks, the Guardian for Children and Young People, Shona Reid has been travelling regionally to connect with children and young people in care, carers, and service providers across the north of South Australia.

Providing a life-line for our children
As we reflect on the theme of NAIDOC Week, ‘For our Elders’, we look to our parents, aunties, uncles, nannas and grandfathers. Our Elders are more than just family members, they are the survivors, they are leaders and they are changemakers. Elders guide and teach us, they are holders of cultural traditions, language and knowledge, story tellers and tireless advocates for children and young people, families and communities – this goes beyond just their immediate family circles. They are there for us always and forever.

Prioritising young people’s voices: a call for change
It has been nine years since I last walked out of the Adelaide Youth Training Centre. As
someone who experienced the criminal legal system as a young person, I know how damaging it can be.

Shona kicks off her regional visits

Reflecting on National Sorry Day
Today we commemorate an event very close to my heart, National Sorry Day. As an Eastern Arrernte woman, as a mother, and as Guardian for Children and Young People, it means a lot to have the opportunity to share my reflections on the origins of this day and how our nation can learn from the past, to create better futures for First Nations children and young people.

Care leaver’s new book encourages children to speak up and share their feelings
In our role as advocates and helping to project the voices of children and young in care, we are often privileged to build long lasting, respectful connections with the young people we work alongside. Felicity Graham is an amazing woman who we have the absolutely honour of having such a relationship with.
