Next Steps for Our Kids 2022–2030: ACT Strategy for Strengthening Families and Keeping Children and Young People Safe

ACT Government

Next Steps for Our Kids (Next Steps) sets out an ambitious reform agenda building on the positive outcomes seen through the implementation of the previous A Step Up for Our Kids Strategy (A Step Up) and addresses the continuing challenges seen in the child and youth protection system in Australia. Next Steps is an evolution of A Step Up and will see various original elements matured, extended and expanded. It sits alongside other local and national strategies and reviews that are aimed at building a stronger, fairer and more effective service system to support children, young people and their families and carers.
