The child protection system aims to protect children from maltreatment in family settings. This resource consists of an initial report followed by 3 updates, each focussing on a specific area of interest in child protection systems.
The initial report (Insights) provides and overview of children in child protection systems in 2021–22, including children subject to notifications, investigations, and substantiations of maltreatment, and the ways children were supported. The first update (Safety of children in care) presents data on the safety and abuse of children in care. The second update (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children) presents data on First Nations children in the child protection system. The data also include the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle (ATSICPP) indicators. The third update (Pathways from out-of-home care) presents data on children leaving the out-of-home care system. The data also include the Permanency Outcomes Performance Framework (POPF) indicators and the National Standards for Out-of-Home Care (NOOHCS) indicators.
