Practitioner Testimonials – Child Information Sharing Scheme in Action

As part of the Centre’s ongoing commitment to enhancing CISS implementation, we’ve created a suite of video resources to increase knowledge and confidence and expand capacity among child and family services, and allied sectors, to work collaboratively to contribute to positive practices for children and their families.

The Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) allows authorised organisations and professionals who work with young people and their families to share information to promote children’s wellbeing and safety and assess and manage family violence risk.

Collaboration and information sharing are essential within the child welfare and family services sector.

As part of the Centre’s Child Information Sharing – Capacity Building – Grants Project, the videos are based on 3 testimonials from professionals using CISS to achieve positive outcomes for at-risk children, young people and their families and are now available on the Centre’s CISS Resource Hub.
