The Guide to Support Children in Residential Care during times of Crisis was released in June 2020. The guide has been developed to support young people during times of distress with a consistent approach that recognises their trauma, and aims to minimise their involvement in the justice system. It was developed in partnership between East Division Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Justice and Community Safety, Victoria Police, Residential Out-of-Home Care providers and other members of the young people’s care team.
