The Department for Education, Children and Young People acknowledges the trauma that continues to affect people with lived experience of child abuse. We are committed to being sensitive to this trauma as we use the learnings from past wrongs to protect the rights of current and future generations of children and young people and keep them safe from harm.
We also acknowledge the determination and resilience of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people of Lutruwita / Tasmania, who have survived invasion, dispossession and significant abuse while continuing to maintain their identity, culture and rights.
