The Department for Child Protection (the Department) delivers community information and education sessions to parents from culturally diverse communities about child protection practices and laws in Western Australia.

The sessions are delivered in partnership with government and community sector services such as Parenting WA, the Metropolitan Migrant Resource Centre, Koondoola Integrated Services, MercyCare and Edmund Rice Centre.
They are provided in response to requests from culturally diverse community groups, or are offered where the Department has identified a need.
A range of forums have been provided which target newly arrived migrants as well as other ethnic minority families.
