Honouring the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle and keeping children connected to culture, country, and kin.
Cultural Consultation
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle (ATSICPP) is a framework designed to ensure decisions about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children respect their rights to family, culture, and identity.
At Family Safe Solutions, we recognize the importance of self-determination. We work closely with families and DCJ to ensure that cultural plans are not just paperwork, but living documents that keep children safe and connected.
