Senior Community Child Protection Workers-Remote are located in eleven remote Aboriginal communities in WA. The following practice frameworks support and guide the role and practice responsibilities of these positions when working with children, young people and families in remote Aboriginal communities. Collaboration with service integration is essential to delivering services in remote communities.
The Department is the lead agency for interagency collaboration to promote the safety and wellbeing of children. The Department has a number of partnerships with State Government Departments and relevant local Agreements that have relevance for working in remote communities. Some of these Partnership Agreements and Memorandum of Understandings are high level and others represent local district/community interagency partnerships.
The Department also works collaboratively at a local level with a number of agencies in response to a range of issues that affect children, families and communities wellbeing. A good example of this is when the Department, alongside our partners, work together at times of crisis during emergency management responses to support community and individuals to resolve and work through these events.
