What changes are happening in the Childrens Court?
The changes to the Children’s Court are about streamlining and simplifying the processes and making them more user-friendly for children, families and caseworkers. For example, the changes will reduce the amount of time caseworkers will spend on paperwork for court, without reducing the amount of evidence a court requires to make an informed decision about a child’s future. The changes also aim to encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution.
