- Work with foster carers and the children/young people in their care in a culturally responsive, trauma informed, family centred way.
- Ensure that the protection of children and the promotion of their welfare is given absolute priority in all activities and that critical incidents/allegations are recorded, investigated and acted upon appropriately.
- Participate in negotiations between Key Assets and the Department.
