Definition

The number of families who were supported in the reporting period per 1,000 children and young people reported to DCJ Child Protection Helpline.  


A child and young person concern report relates to the initial contact made at the Child Protection Helpline from mandatory or non-mandatory reporters who have reasonable grounds to suspect a child or young person is at Risk of Significant Harm (ROSH) and has current concerns about the safety, welfare or wellbeing of the child/young person.  Child and young person concern reports are then assessed to determine whether the threshold of significant harm is reached.

The child and young person concern report is classified according to whether the report meets the ROSH threshold or is assessed as requiring no further response at that point in time or alternatively can be forwarded for information or other action.  Reports that do not meet the ROSH threshold are assessed as requiring no response at that point in time.
