Recordkeeping and Rights of the Child Research Program, Monash University
Recordkeeping and Rights of the Child Research Program, is a transdisciplinary research agenda investigating how multiple and lifelong rights in records and recordkeeping can be recognised, respected and enacted in child welfare and protection systems utilising digital and networking technologies. This submission outlines their support for the recommendations of the Yoorrook for Justice Report (2023) for both urgent reforms (Recommendations 3-26) and comprehensive systems transformation (Recommendations 1-2) across Victoria’s Child Protection System. They believe that a vital part of this is re-imagining and re-designing the data, information and recordkeeping infrastructure that underpins the current system.
