Discuss this scenario with a group of your staff to explore some of the challenges associated with working closely with the community, and how best to support people who are deeply involved in the community and the responsibilities that come with this.
This scenario is adapted from page 7 of the KidsMatter Engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities: Supplement to the KidsMatter Primary Action Team Handbook. (Please note, the original KidsMatter resources are no longer available online). For more information, you might like to visit the Be You and Always Be You resources, and the Emerging Minds Toolkit for Working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Families and Children.
