We called for improvements to identity protections for children in civil proceedings.
In our submission to the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into identity protections for proceedings involving children, we recommend that the NSW Government maintain existing identity protections for children involved in criminal proceedings. We also called for harmonising protections in criminal proceedings with identity protections for children involved in civil proceedings when appropriate.
We also call for changes to care and protection legislation so that families can speak out about their experiences of the child protection system without risking criminal prosecution, as recommended by the landmark Family is Culture Review Report in 2019.
