SUMMARY:Webinar: Play\, Participation & Poverty
DESCRIPTION:Play\, participation & poverty:\n– How our policies can create fairer\, healthier futures for children & young people \nWith Anti-Poverty Week and Children’s Week both falling in October\, NAPCAN is taking a look at the important overlap between the themes of the two weeks: child poverty and play. \nThis fresh conversation will build on what we already know… that:\n– activities like outdoor play\, organised sport\, dance and drama outside of school are good for the future health of all children\n– the benefits are greatest for young people who commonly have the least access to these activities (ie from lower-income families)\n– our policies have the power to remove many of the barriers that lock people out of opportunities to play and participate\n– fantastic local examples are providing insight into simple smart investments that are creating fairer\, more protective communities for children. \nWe’ll hear from passionate researchers and advocates on the topic:\n– Dr Alex O’Donnell from the University of Tasmania will share his research about how extracurricular activities benefit children and young people\, including new research about impacts on mental health\n– Sally Weir from the Department of Territory Families\, Housing and Communities\, Northern Territory Government and Rachel Fosdick\, the Board Secretary and Founder of Palmerston and Regional Basketball Association\, will talk about the Palmerston Youth Activities Programs and the benefits that are being seen when young people are connected to activities in fair and equal ways.\n– Hyahno Moser founder of the Australian Institute of Play\, will share his decades of experience promoting access to outdoor neighbourhood play including in organisations such as Nature Play and Logan Together\, Qld. \nThis will be an engaging conversation for anyone who works with children or youth\, or who is interested in creating smart evidence-based policies (including at federal\, state\, local levels) to give every child in every community a fair go. \nMonday 23 October 2023\n2pm AEDT\n1pm AEST\n12.30pm NT \nRegister here\nhttps://napcan-org-au.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_14gCPEs-T0CZ8P99M2u5Ew

SUMMARY:Poverty & Keeping Children Safe – in conversation with Professor Brigid Featherstone (UK)
DESCRIPTION:Note event runs 3-4pm AEDT\, 2-3pm QLD time \nThis Anti-Poverty Week looks at how poverty impacts the opportunities and outcomes of children and young people. We know that poverty affects far too many Australian children and families\, diminishing their lives now and in the future. As one of the wealthiest countries in the world\, it’s just not right that 1 in 6 of our children grow up in poverty. \nIn this conversation we have Professor Brigid Featherstone\, from the University of Huddersfield\, UK talking about groundbreaking research from the UK and other countries that shows how poverty and inequality impact the context in which child abuse and neglect occurs and how it is responded to by different systems\, including those that are meant to be providing families with support. \nWhat can we learn from the UK and other countries\, to help every child in every community have a fair go? \nMany studies have found that poverty and inequality is a large contributory factor to children being in contact with the child protection system. Professor Featherstone and colleagues say that ‘crucially many of the issues that are dealt with as individualised issues in child protection such as mental health difficulties\, substance misuse difficulties and drug and alcohol problems are all much more prevalent in unequal societies. However\, such socially generated issues are dealt with within an individual frame in child protection. They are reduced to issues of choice\, motivation or character\, which is an inadequate frame.’ \nProfessor Featherstone suggests it is time to tell the important story that: \nThere are inequalities in children’s chances of living safely within their families.\nThese inequalities are directly related to deprivation and other forms of inequality such as in physical and mental health.\nAnti-poverty strategies need to be joined up with child protection strategies locally and nationally.\nThe social determinants of many of the harms experienced by individuals and within families need to be recognised\, understood and tackled.\nSocial and collective strategies need to be integrated with practices directed at individual families.\nTo protect children and promote their welfare we need to focus on the contexts in which they live with their families.\nProfessor Featherstone will also share her knowledge about how Covid-19 has impacted these issues and what are the next steps for children and families.
