Since 2010, we have been working to improve professional collaboration and raise the profile of chid protection law.

CPPAQ is committed to a child protection sector that

• Recognises that the decisions made during litigation fundamentally affect the basic human right of a child or young person to live with his or her family
• Acknowledges that families have primary responsibility for the upbringing, protection and development of their children
• Acknowledges that the State has responsibility for the protection of children and young people where it is not possible for families to do so, and that this responsibility should be exercised in the least intrusive way possible in the circumstances
• Ensures that decisions and actions are guided by the best interests of the child or young person involved
• Gives effect to the rights of children, young people, their families and their carers to be kept informed of and participate in decisions that affect them, and to have their views considered in decision making
