Evidence forums
CFSS holds Evidence Forums during the year to present insights and findings about the effectiveness and impact of child and family support services and practices.
Almost 200 government and non-government practitioners from across the state attended an online Evidence Forum delivered by Child and Family Support System (CFSS) on 12 May 2025.
Dr Henry Pharo - Director of Pathways, Evidence and Partnerships (PEP), and Sally Kirk – A/Manager of Clinical Practice with Safer Family Services (SFS), presented findings regarding the impact of the child-centred practice model used across SFS services, demonstrating the high rates of success being achieved with families.
