Kinship carers play a vital role in nurturing children and young people who cannot live with their parents. Every child deserves to grow up in a loving and culturally connected home – and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child helps make sure of this. Australia has committing to upholding children’s rights. What does this mean for kinship carers? How do these international principles connect to the laws and systems that carers deal with every day?
In this podcast we speak with lawyer Fleur Ward, special counsel at Coulter Legal, and her colleague lawyer Molly Quinlan, who explore how the rights of the child apply in Victoria and show how knowing these rights can empower carers to advocate for the children in their care.
