In response to the Daily Telegraph's front-page piece on Monday 'Tens of thousands of children at risk of abuse not seen in person by NSW government case workers', Fams has strongly lobbied for an increased investment into early intervention and prevention. “Early intervention programs are evidence-based, highly effective and are key to breaking the cycle of trauma and abuse," said Susan. "Part of the challenge in our child protection system is that children and families often need to be re-reported over and over again to access any kind of services. We need to make it easier, not harder for families, to move between the different services offered." “The frontline workers and not-for-profits in the early intervention and prevention system work incredibly hard and are incredibly talented. They just need more resources and support."

Fams endorses NAPCAN calling on the Commonwealth Government to host a National Summit to Prevent Child Maltreatment. Evidence from the recently released Australian Child Maltreatment Study means we simply cannot turn away from the reality of harm to children in Australia, and our duty to prevent this. A Summit will bring people together in a new way to: -Bring decision and policy makers from across governments and portfolios into the same room. -Learn from experts, academics, people working with children and families, and individuals with lived experiences from across the community. -Build a common understanding of what we already know about child abuse and neglect. -Talk openly and honestly about what is working and not working (and where the money is going and needs to go). -Explore the evidence on the root causes of maltreatment and find smarter solutions to prevent abuse. -Establish prevention of abuse as a national and whole-of-community priority.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, observed on June 15, signifies our collective struggle against the mistreatment of older adults. Elder abuse is not only an individual problem; it's a community and societal issue that reminds us to promote respect and dignity for older adults. With a collaborative strategy in place, Wellpoint works in tandem with healthcare providers to detect early signs of elder abuse. We have taken great strides to implement caregiver education programs, because in many cases, the caregivers are the first line of defense in recognizing indicators of abuse. We are not just advocating prevention, but actively invested in providing solutions to help prevent elder abuse. https://ow.ly/n5qW30sE8g3
