Brilliant conversation hosted by @NAPCAN_AU #ncpw23 about financial investment into children's safety. Key message from @BessellSharon - in a country as wealthy as Australia our aim should be to END child poverty not just reduce it. Budgets should reflect our care for children.

Discussion insight: #Grassrootsengagement begins with identifying the preferences and needs of your target groups. Think about what tools they like and places they already meet. A community BBQ could go a long way! Thank you @PhilippaCollin for hosting the online breakout group.

Amazed by Y&R’s @LouWelland who just facilitated her first #youth panel discussion today celebrating @CRISconsortium research insights. Key takeaway: let's empower youth collaborators by inviting them to new spaces, offering new information and allowing them to solve challenges.
