about children's services in NSW
The most important consideration in the provision of children’s services is to serve the best interests of children.
Children should receive services that meet their individual needs, including the special needs of those with disabilities. These services should enhance their physical, emotional, cognitive, social and cultural development.
Parents have both the right and responsibility to be involved in the decisions made by a children’s service that affect their children.
