Acknowledgements

We gratefully acknowledge the contribution to this review of key stakeholders who participated in data collection activities to determine the effectiveness of implementation of the Child Information Sharing Scheme. Insights and experiences with information sharing across a diversity of sectors were generously provided by workforces and senior representatives of prescribed organisations and services and related sector peak/lead bodies.

We also thank key informants representing partner government departments and agencies for information about policy, support and practice related to information sharing reforms from a state-wide perspective, and the Department of Education and Training, as the lead department for the child information sharing reforms, for the support provided to this review.

We especially acknowledge the cooperation of service providers during the latter phase of this review when child and family related services were experiencing the additional demands that accompanied the coronavirus pandemic and the workplace challenges of continuing to safely support their clients and communities.
