Join our next SAFE (Support & Accountability for Forensic Experts) group on 26 November 2025 as we explore how to approach forensic interviews through a trauma-informed lens.

Understanding trauma is essential for every forensic practitioner — it shapes how children disclose, how we interpret their narratives, and ultimately, how justice is served. This session offers a safe, supportive space to grow your skill, strengthen your ethics, and connect with others in the field.

💻 Online via Zoom
⏰ 9:00–11:00am

As an organisation committed to evidence-based, child-centred practice, we are deeply concerned by the proposed amendment to the Children’s Act that would criminalise the safe relinquishment of infants in Baby Safe Haven Boxes.

These facilities save lives by providing a safe alternative to unsafe abandonment. Criminalising desperate parents will not prevent abandonment — it will endanger children.

We call on lawmakers to uphold evidence-based, child-centred policy that protects, rather than punishes, our most vulnerable. We also encourage the public to submit their comments on this draft using the below contact details.

💡 Thinking about starting (or already running) your own social work private practice? Here are some reminders you need to hear:

🌱 Don’t do it alone — find a community to share, vent, and lean on.
🧭 Supervision is non-negotiable — it’s where growth and accountability happens.
💼 It’s not as easy as it looks — behind the scenes is hard work, discipline, and perseverance.
🛑 Boundaries protect you from burnout — your time and energy matters.
📚 Keep learning — your clients deserve your best, and growth never stops.

Private practice is tough, but with the right support, it’s also one of the most rewarding journeys you can take. ✨

Interested in learning more? Join our comprehensive Private Practice course starting on the 16th of October. 4 Live Online sessions and a one-on-one consultation included.💪🏻

Perfect for psychologists or counsellors as well. ⭐️
