It is with excitement  that PPP can share with you the Victorian Charter of Rights for Parents and Carers with disability involved with Child Protection.

The documents were launched yesterday  6/2/2023 by our very own Susan Arthur and Miranda Bain from Funds in Court Victoria-The Supreme Court of Victoria.

The documents are now ‘live’ within the Child Protection Online Manual.

This link is to the page in the Child Protection Manual where the documents are found:
