Department of Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Disability Services
A Child Safety Service Centre is a local office managed by the Department of Children, Youth Justice, and Multicultural Affairs. These centers are integral to the state's child protection services, focusing on ensuring the safety and well-being of children who might be at risk of harm or neglect. The primary functions of these centers include: 1 Investigating reports of abuse or neglect: When concerns about a child's safety are reported, the center's staff investigate to assess the risk and determine the appropriate action. 2 Providing support to families: They offer support services to families, helping them address issues that may be putting their children at risk. 3 Taking legal action if needed: In cases where children are in significant danger, the center can take legal action to protect them, which might include placing them in foster care. 4 Collaborating with other agencies: These centers work with other government and non-government organizations, such as health services and educational institutions, to ensure a comprehensive approach to child protection. 5 Developing care plans: For children who cannot safely remain in their homes, the centers create care plans that may involve foster care, kinship care, or other out-of-home care options.
