‘Building Bridges’ shares the perspectives of Aboriginal caseworkers about the vital role they play in fostering children’s connections to Kin, culture and Country. They offer practice tips to other caseworkers including the need to actively listen to the perspectives of children and young people and ask respectful, curious questions to build relationships with families.
The video was developed as part of the ARC-funded Fostering Lifelong Connections study (LP180101332) which aims to explore how the out-of-home care sector can support children to develop and maintain positive connections to family and culture. The videos were produced by Desert Pea Media with the University of Sydney Research Centre for Children and Families in partnership with the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) and Uniting Permanency Support Program in Dubbo, NSW.
