The first Children's Network Meeting for 2017 will be on Thursday 15th June from 9.30-11.30am, at Wesley Homelessness and Support Services, 291a Maroondah Hwy, Ringwood. Morning tea is provided so an RSVP is appreciated.  

Staff from Opening Doors, Women’s Refuges, Family Violence Support agencies, Family Support Services, Police FV Liaison and other agencies who work with families experiencing homelessness and family violence are invited to attend. We love to see familiar faces and new faces are welcome as well. 

This network will provide a forum for agency updates, sharing of resource information and practice challenges, discussions around regional themes, opportunities for case discussions and the potential to invite guest speakers as well as possibilities for interagency collaboration and capacity building. Please feel free to bring any brochures/pamphlets/ cards to this meeting.

There will usually be representation from Child First and Child Protection and this has always been a valuable time to understand ongoing changes to DHS, service boundaries and to discuss specific cases.

November 30th -final for 2017.
