Transforming Child Justice in Australia: "A Call for Early Intervention and Comprehensive Reform" A recent report, "Help Way Earlier! How Australia Can Transform Child Justice to Improve Safety and Wellbeing," calls for urgent reforms to the child justice system in Australia, highlighting that the current approach, which often criminalizes children as young as 10, fails to address the root causes of offending behavior. Children and young people involved in the report emphasize that crime is often a symptom of unmet needs, rooted in social disadvantage. Instead of focusing on punitive measures like policing, strict bail laws, and incarceration, the report advocates for a shift towards policies centered on child wellbeing and human rights. Key recommendations include establishing a National Taskforce for child justice reform, appointing a Cabinet Minister for Children, creating a Ministerial Council for Child well-being, and enacting a National Children’s Act along with a Human Rights Act. The report underscores the importance of placing children at the heart of policymaking, empowering First Nations communities, supporting community-based initiatives, and building a child-specialized workforce. This comprehensive approach, based on evidence and children's rights, aims to create a more just and supportive environment for all children in Australia For full details of the report, click the link in the comments section. #Childsafety #childprotection #Humanrights #justicesystem

Dear LinkedIn Community, At Be Recruitment, we understand the importance of staying ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of employment legislation. As of August 26th, 2024, several key changes have come into effect that directly impact employers across various sectors, this is part of closing the loopholes. Below is just a reminder about these updates - crucial for ensuring compliance and maintaining a fair and supportive workplace environment. A reminder and what you need to know: Casual employment changes - Rules about casual employment have changed, including how casual work is defined, pathways to permanent employment, and employee and employer responsibilities. Right to disconnect - Employees have the right to refuse contact outside their working hours unless that refusal is unreasonable. Learn about the new right to disconnect. This doesn’t apply to small businesses and their employees until 26 August 2025. Independent contractor changes - If you’re a contractor or work with contractors (ABN holders), it’s important you understand the new definition of employment and other changes to independent contractor rules. Minimum standards and protections for some contractors - If you’re in the gig economy or know someone in the road transport industry, find out about new minimum standards and protections for some contractors. To find out more about changes already in place (Closing Loopholes) you can access FairWork's easy-to-use visual diagram to see the timelines in place.

Right to disconnect begins today The Fair Work Ombudsman reminds employers and employees that the new right to disconnect begins today for non-small businesses.

This includes contact (or attempted contact) from an employer or a third party. For more information on this update please click the link below: 👇 https://lnkd.in/gdnYqcku

Understanding Welfare Checks in Social and Community Housing. What is a Welfare Check? A welfare check is a routine or emergency procedure undertaken by housing providers to ensure the well-being of their tenants. This is particularly important in social and community housing where residents might face unique challenges or vulnerabilities. Why are Welfare Checks Important? Safety and Well-being: Checking on tenants helps to identify potential risks to their safety, such as neglect, abuse, or hazardous living conditions. Early Intervention: Regular checks can help detect early signs of problems like mental health issues, financial difficulties, or isolation, allowing for timely intervention and support. Community Building: Welfare checks foster a sense of community and let tenants know that their housing provider cares about their well-being. For a general guide on conducting welfare checks in social and community housing, take a look at Be's Basics - the latest blog post. Link in the comments section 👇

The Impact of AI on the Community Services Sector AI is rapidly changing the landscape of many industries, and community services & social work are no exception. While there's potential for AI to streamline processes and enhance service delivery, there are also concerns about data privacy, job displacement, and the potential for algorithms to perpetuate biases. While it offers potential benefits, it's essential to consider its impact on privacy, job roles, and potential biases. How can we harness AI's power while ensuring ethical and equitable outcomes for our communities? What are your thoughts on AI's potential benefits and challenges in the sector? #AI #communityservices #ethics #socialimpact #AIforegood, #digitalinclusion, #humancentereddesign
