""Lack of financial support to carers can destroy the sustainability of kinship placements – at vastly greater cost to the system. If the placement fails, children end up in other parts of the Child Protection system, in unsafe environments, or on the depressing treadmill to youth justice facilities and prison. "" https://www.ombudsman.vic.gov.au/getattachment/e944c115-b5bd-4b55-bcec-5d997bdbb9d7 This is NATIONWIDE and needs to be recognised, please all kinship carers flood your state/territory ombudsman, we need a collective push and we need it now! Please continue to share this petition around, people need to know the truth.
