Child Wellbeing Practitioner Ahp2/po2

Role Highlights
Here at the Department of Human Services (DHS), we strive to
deliver modern programs, services and policy that strengthen
communities and enable South Australians to actively participate in
community life.
With people at the heart of what we do and a
commitment to child safety, ageing well and supporting people with
disability, we work to increase inclusion, independence and
decision-making, and help our communities when it matters most.
About the Business
Our Safer Family Services team delivers a range of services,
including intensive family support and multi-agency responses, to
help children stay safely at home with their families and avoid the
need for out-of-home care.
They also help families with parenting
support, workshops and connection to community events and
initiatives to improve child safety and wellbeing.
Role Details
The Child Wellbeing Program (CWP) is a targeted program aimed at
assisting Education staff to quickly identify vulnerable children
and their families, to engage them in, and with, timely and
appropriate support services, resulting in fewer children and
families reaching the level of concern that requires a statutory
child protection response.
Child Wellbeing staff work closely with Education sites, to enhance
their ability to engage with families in a setting that is
generally perceived by children and families to be accepting and
positive.
The Child Wellbeing Program has been designed to provide an
integral link between Education sites, Child Protection operational
services and Department of Human Services (DHS), Safer Family
Services (SFS).
Child Wellbeing staff will build and support
collaborative systemic responses across pre-statutory child
protection systems, across government and non-government service
sectors.
