**About Child Safety**:
Child protection in Queensland is undergoing a significant reform to ensure that children and young people are cared for, protected and safe.
The Stronger Families Reform Program focuses on delivering the right services at the right time to support families and keep children safely at home. This means working in partnership with peak bodies, service providers and communities to deliver the best outcomes for all Queensland children and their families.
As part of the reform process, a new framework for practice has been developed, one that will build on existing skills of engaging with families so they can participate more meaningfully in the child protection process, including developing stronger collaborative assessment, case planning and safety planning processes. The new framework for practice will also bring a practice of inquiry to help address overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.
**Your contribution**:
The Kinnection and Permanency Team is positioned within the Placement, Partnership and Investment Team and works to identify, locate and engage extended family, kin and community for children in out-of-home care and progressing assessments and recommendations regarding permanency matters. A key focus and priority of the Kinnection and Permanency team is increasing kinship placement options for children in care. This role requires a skilled professional who is passionate and enthusiastic to deliver positive outcomes to children through kinshipexploration work with families, that possess a strong understanding of child protection legislation, regulation of care, carer assessments, effective communication skills in liaising with a number of different stakeholders and is able to demonstrate strong cultural competencies. Child Safety Officers are responsible for ensuring the safety, belonging and wellbeing of all children and young people in the child protection process.
Child Safety Officers are responsible for delivering statutory child protection services including assessment, intervention, casework and case management in accordance with legislation, practice guidelines and a strengths-based framework for practice. In this role Child Safety Officers will have a primary focus on increasing the number of children that are placed with kin with a priority on adherence to the Child Placement Principles. This will include working with Child Safety Service Centres, nongovernment providers, community, Elders, carers, children and families. The Kinnection and Permanency Team works across the Sunshine Coast and Central Region with Child Safety Officers needing to be able to travel when required.
