We're saying thank you to more than 5,900 Queensland foster and kinship carers for their dedication and commitment.

Nominations are now open for a Queensland Child Protection Week award to publicly acknowledge the efforts, commitment and passion of the many people who make a significant contribution to their communities to prevent child harm and neglect.

The actions and decisions you make can impact human rights of the children and young people you care for. It's important to remember a child's human rights when you're making decisions about their care.

Resources for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are available to help know the signs of abuse, where to get help and show support.
