Practice prompt
Consider what you see when you visit remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
How might your assessment and application of the Framework for Practice, structured decision-making (SDM) tools and Child Protection Act 1999 (the Act) contribute to the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children entering the care system?
How can you change your practice to be culturally competent to help reduce the over-representation?
