Poverty & Keeping Children Safe
In this webinar, the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) is in conversation with:
Dr Brid Featherstone, Professor of Social Work, University of Huddersfield, UK
Professor Ilan Katz, Social Policy Research Centre, UNSW Sydney
Claudia Lennon, Director of Practice & Impact Management, Benevolent Society
Facilitated by Rani Kumar, Deputy CEO, NAPCAN
As one of the wealthiest countries in the world, it’s just not right that 1 in 6 of our children grow up in poverty. We know that poverty affects far too many Australian children and families, diminishing their lives now and in the future.
This webinar provided insight into how:
poverty and inequality impact the context in which child abuse and neglect occurs;
poverty is responded to by different systems; and
we can all ask for programs and policies to better support families and keep children safe
