Calla Wahlquist - The Guardian

The government of Victoria in Australia has committed a record amount of funds to support Indigenous children to stay in the care of their communities and to "ensure community control over children placed into out-of-home care," according to this article from the Guardian. The government has also dedicated funding for support services to Indigenous children in youth detention. "It’s the first agreement in Australia between a government, community members and organisations on the management of children in child protection."
