research & evaluation program

Community Services undertakes and commissions research into a range of issues related to its core business, including prevention and early intervention, child protection and out-of-home care.

These projects are managed by Community Services Centre for Parenting and Research. The Centre's work is guided by Community Services Research agenda.

Also see the Research report 2008/09.

We also collaborate with external institutions and researchers to provide relevant research findings.

The work of the Centre is also guided by a Research Advisory Council, comprising 10 academic experts in the fields of child protection, child development, social policy, health and education from universities across NSW.
