Queensland Child Safety
Systems Investigation
what are we investigating?
PIER ONE is investigating the potential systemic failures surrounding the removal and placement of Queensland children in care of the Department of Child Safety. Our investigations focus on the systems underpinning the Queensland Child Protection framework, including the operational delivery of child safety services throughout Queensland. A core focus surrounds the effective management of risk associated with removing and transitioning children in care and opportunities for improvement.
