People absolutely lose kids into #OOHC because workers are #racist, #homophobic, #transphobic, and #classist. There is a strong intolerance within #DCJ of diverse parenting styles. Neurodivergent Parents fall prey to suspicion of deception, because we avoid eye contact, or we mumble. Etc.

2/2. @SNAICC @ ACOSS #OOHC
While a record number of First Nations children have been removed from parents, only 6% of child protection funding goes to First Nations organisations.
For funding to be most effective, it must be distributed to where it will make the greatest impact.
When First-Nations-led organisations are well resourced and empowered to do the work they set out to do for their communities, we know unequivocally that it leads to much better outcomes for those communities. #auspol @SNAICC @ACOSS #OOHC
SNAICC Media Release 📰
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander #children’s national peak SNAICC says a new report demonstrates how child protection systems are conveyor belts into the youth justice system for far too many vulnerable young people: t.co/eg9SL1mJ2h. #OOHC
#SNAICC & #NSWAbSec need to shift away from accepting funding for #OoHC and need to demand funding availability for #EarlyIntervention programs like #First2000Days and prevent #Indigenous children being placed in care altogether.
I'm with #TargetZER0!
We must STOP criminalising #AfricanAustralian #Maori #Pasifika #Aboriginal YP & kids in #OOHC.
We must CHANGE how we respond to #children & #YoungPeople, to ensure we #DoNoHarm.
We must DO no harm.
