PDFSocial exclusion and social inclusion: resources for child and family services - resource sheet

20 June 2011CAFCA Resource Sheets are designed for practitioners and policy-makers who plan and/or deliver services to children and families in Australia, especially within disadvantaged communities. This resource sheet provides practitioners and policy-makers with information about social inclusion and social exclusion and how this impacts upon children and families in Australia. It also provides links to further resources on the topics of social inclusion and social exclusion.

The information in this Resource Sheet is organised according to the four social inclusion “domains” of opportunity, as outlined below. It provides statistics from the latest Australian Social Inclusion Board (2010) on How Australia is Faring, and points to further online resources which are freely available and relevant to the Australian child and family services context. Each domain is accompanied by examples from the CAFCA Promising Practice Profiles database of programs/projects undertaken by child and family services that have led to improvements in those specific areas.
