Children's Protection Society Inc.
Description
History
The Children's Protection Society opened its doors in 1896, a turbulent time in Australia's history which was reflected in high levels of addiction, homelessness and social alienation; a situation not dissimilar to that in which we find ourselves today.
The Children's Protection Society was responsible for investigating and reporting on child abuse and neglect until welfare policy and legislative reform in 1985 resulted in changes to its role, but not to its ultimate objective: the reduction of child abuse and neglect.
During more than one hundred years of experience, the Children's Protection Society has developed a reputation for best practice and service innovation.
