Navigating the System: Co-Creating the Know Your Rights Website

The purpose of this meeting is to reintroduce and discuss the upcoming project, Know Your Rights: Navigating the NSW Child Protection System & Finding Supports, developed in a collaboration of AbSec and the Bring Them Home, Keep Them Home (BTHKTH) research initiative. 

This project aims to create a trusted and accessible online resource to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents, families, and communities as they navigate the New South Wales child protection system. The Know Your Rights website is being designed to provide culturally safe, practical, and empowering information to help families understand their rights, advocate for their children, and make informed decisions. 

Grounded in the voices and lived experiences of Aboriginal families shared through the BTHKTH research, the resource will offer information on: 

  • How the child protection system is intended to work and the responsibilities of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice.
  • Rights of Aboriginal families and communities under current laws and policies.
  • A step-by-step explanation of the child protection process.
  • Options and actions available to families at each stage of the process.
  • Stories and insights from other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents.
  • Tools such as journals to support families in documenting their own evidence.
