Anne Henderson, Director - The MacKillop Institute
"We've always been very conscious of the wellbeing of everyone in our school community. Since introducing the ReLATE program we can see it recognises the inter-relationship between the adults and the children within the school community. ReLATE builds community and builds a feeling that people care about each other on a personal level not just colleagues or student peers - it goes deeper than that."

Preventing sexual exploitation in residential care homes
Children living in residential care homes are at a greater risk of sexual exploitation, their vulnerable status making them a target for criminals and unwanted behaviours from peers. Since 2021, the South Australian Department for Child Protection has rolled out the Power to Kids program to help child and youth workers gain the skills to identify and prevent sexual exploitation of children and young people in their care.
