The Children in Care CollectiveWe are always better together than we are apart
The Children in Care Collective is an interagency think-tank formed in 2016 to share experience, discuss best practice, provide advocacy and learn from researchers and policy experts in out of home care. The Collective meets regularly and has agreed on priority practice areas to be discussed at these meetings. The group has identified a series of practice topics to focus on.

The Collective has chosen to focus on a set of specific priorities in order to genuinely increase agency capability beyond anything that could be achieved as an individual agency.
