The interest regarding the protection of the families, children and the youth have
developed recently among the social and political experts of Australia. There were some laws
that were meant to protect the children in the country (Maughan et al., 2014) The children,
who were abused and abandoned, were either placed with the families who were actually
capable of taking care of the children and keeping them comfortable or either kept in the
orphanages that were being run by the voluntary organization. In the 19th century, for the first
time legal manifestations about the protection of the children from the abuse and neglect were
made in the form of philanthropic and charitable struggle (McGorry et al., 2013)
The New South Wales (NSW) Department of Family and Community Service is
responsible for delivering the services to the individuals, families and communities who are in
the most disadvantageous and dangerous conditions in the state of New South Wales. The
organization help the families, children and the young people, the homeless people, people
with disabilities, and their families and women mainly of the Aborigines and to the Torres
Islander Strait People (Brown 2013). The client being homeless and reared up in a foster care
service can seek help from the organization as and when required.
The plan “Keep Them Safe” was adopted in order to reshape the community as well as
the family services especially to improve safety, welfare and wellbeing of the children and
that of the young people of the community and the country of Australia. The program ensured
that the children could grow up within the families and communities and get the opportunity
to reach their potentiality (Coates, 2017). The program includes certain actions that would
enhance providing better protection to the children who are at risk, supporting the families of
the minorities such as the Aborigines and to strengthen partnerships with other governmental
and non-governmental organizations in order to provide better community service to the
people. The client who faced domestic violence had received a loving and caring family due
to the existence of this program.
