5th Annual Sector Research Symposium

From Inquiry to Action: Research, policy and practice conference

Sector Research Partners:

This is a time of unparalleled public attention to the work of child youth and family services. The Federal Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, the Victorian Royal Commission on Family Violence and the South Australian Royal Commission into Child Protection Services, as well as other inquiries have created the opportunity to reflect deeply on the way we provide services and support. This two day Research Conference will inform, challenge and inspire those concerned with taking the next steps – from Inquiry to Action. Whether carrying Inquiry into Action through research, practice enhancement, program improvement or policy development, this event will provide the opportunity to share latest developments with colleagues. Key Conference Themes will include

  • Child Safety: Beyond Inquiry – How can we keep children and young people safe?
  • Educational Outcomes for Vulnerable Children – Our challenges and opportunities for the next decade
  • Research, Evidence and Practice of Working with Vulnerable Families in Australia
  • The Voice of Young People, Children, Parents & Carers in Research, Policy and Service Delivery

Key Note Presenter:
Professor Leah Bromfield
University of South Australia
