(a) Busselton Senior High School and Collie Senior High School. (b) For a limited period, young people from WA calling the Kids Helpline who were assessed not to require counselling were invited to respond to a series of questions covering the same topics as the community forums and special consultations with young people. The questions had been modified to suit young people's perspective and language. (c) The consultation phase of the development of the Five Year Plan has concluded and no further special community forums are currently planned. However, two young people have recently been appointed to the Family & Children's Advisory Council. It is likely that in future the Council will be consulting in a less structured way with young people through their links with Youth Advisory Councils. (d) The results of the statewide consultation with families and children, including the discussions with young people, are contained in the Summary Report: Listening to Families and Children in the New Millennium. A copy of the Summary Report was sent to every Member of Parliament on 26 May 2000, however additional copies are available from the Family and Children's Policy Office or through their Website at www.familyone.wa.gov.au.
