CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND CHILD PROTECTION
This paper reviews the research into the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) families with regards to child protection. With one in four Australians born overseas, a significant body of research and policy has been developed around many issues faced by migrant communities, however there remains large gaps in the child protection literature. This paper serves as a launch pad, by reviewing current research on the needs of migrant and refugee communities and identifying gaps and priorities for future research.

SPEAK UP: YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING A SAY
The Australian Youth Affairs Coalition (AYAC) are working with Plan International to run consultations with young people around their views on ending poverty, both in Australia and around the world. They are particularly interested in speaking with young people who have disengaged from education, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, and young people who are newly arrived in Australia.
If you want to learn more about the project, or if you know of groups of young people that might want to be involved in the consultation, contact Jacqui at AYAC by email (Jacqui@ayac.org.au) or phone 02 9212 0500
