Charter of Rights for Children and Young People in Care
Centacare Catholic Country SA fully endorse the Charter of Rights for Children and Young People in Care.
All children and young people living in out-of-home care have rights — the right to feel safe, to be heard, and to tell someone if they’re unhappy.
Centacare Catholic Country SA is determined to support children and young people in our care to understand their rights so they can reach their full potential.
As a child or young person, you have the right to:
- feel good about yourself and be treated like any other child who does not live in care
- feel safe, respected and cared for, wherever you live
- get help when you want or need it
- have a say in decisions that affect you
- make a complaint if you feel your rights are not being respected
