Have your say about Child Protection and family support services

We want to hear from children and young people about their experiences with Child Protection and other support services

The Commission wants to hear from you for our Child Protection referrals inquiry.

We want to hear about your experiences with Child Protection or other support services when you have felt unsafe at home.

  • Did anyone contact you directly?
  • Did you feel like you had a chance to say what you wanted and that you understood what was going to happen next?
  • Did your circumstances change after involvement from Child Protection or other services? 

The things you share will help us tell the government about what needs to change to better support children and young people to feel safe.

How you can participate

You can participate in any way that suits you. You could:

  • speak to someone in our team
  • respond to a survey
  • write something
  • create an artwork
  • make a video or audio recording.

To get started, send us an email at engage@ccyp.vic.gov.au

What happens when you share your experiences

If you participate in the inquiry, you give the Commission permission to quote things you say without using any of your personal information. We will always make sure anything quoted does not identify it was you who said or wrote it.

You will also be asked to provide your name and contact details so you can receive a $50 gift voucher to thank you for your time and expertise. Your name and contact details will not be made public.
