Understanding The Child Protection System

The Reily Foundation is dedicated to supporting parents throughout their journey within the child protection system. Our mission is to empower parents, providing them with the tools, resources, and guidance necessary to navigate this complex landscape effectively. We strive to foster a strong and constructive relationship with the Department for Child Protection, acknowledging the vital role they play in ensuring the safety and well-being of children in our community.

Our Commitment

In all the work we do the safety and well-being of children is paramount.

We work with parents to help them understand what it is that they need to change in order to parent more effectively.

We give parents a voice when they are not being heard. We provide a voice for children so that they can have the best connection possible with their biological parents when they are in the care of the government.

Our Beliefs

We believe that children have the right to be raised in a safe and supportive environment, preferably by their biological parents.

We believe that the most vulnerable people in our community are those who need support the most

Our Vision

Strengthening parenting capacity through practical support, education and advocacy.

Our Mission

By working with, and being a supportive voice for, parents who are navigating the State’s Child Protection System, the Reily Foundation endeavours to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and their families.
The Reily Foundation Logo

 

Our logo represents family. The circle is the village that surrounds a family and the hearts represent both parent and child always connected and belonging regardless of whether they are living together.

Why the name ‘Reily’ for the Foundation? The name Reily was chosen as it is a unisex name. ‘Reily’ represents all children in care and their need for a village to show up for them and put them first.
