Family-child
Involving children in decisions that affect them when
their parents divorce
|
| Alan Campbell |
| In the past five years, mediation and counselling services
funded by the Australian Government have been developing strong 'child inclusive'
practices. This conversation will explore the meaning of 'child inclusivity' and chart the
developments, both in Australia and within the region, for including children in decisions
that affect them after divorce. At the end of the conversation, participants will have
developed an understanding of Australian initiatives, the problems associated with the
inclusion of children, and ways in which we might move forward in involving children more
directly in decisions that are made about them. |
