ISS Australia’s Deputy CEO, Damon Martin, recently presented at the National Kinship, Permanent and Foster Care Conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre.

Damon presented on ‘How International Kinship Care creates Equity in Permanency’. In countries around the world there are children and young people in care who have extended family members overseas that may be able to care for them. In Australia alone, there are over 46,000 children in care, the majority of whom are in placements with carers that they have no biological connection with.

ISS has developed a set of Equity in Permanency principles for child protection practitioners and decision-makers to prioritise the exploration of family placements, without discrimination of any kind. These principles promote access and connection with the child’s extended family (both locally and overseas) to provide the best opportunity for them to be raised with a strong sense of identity, belonging, roots and culture.
