Department for Child Protection

The Department for Child Protection (DCP) works in partnership with families, government and non-government agencies, carers and the community to care for and protect vulnerable children and young people by addressing harm and keeping them safe.

Where children and young people cannot stay safely in the family home DCP will find a place for them to live, preferably with members of their family and kinship networks, or with foster carers.

DCP aims to give young South Australians in our care every opportunity to reach their full potential. We value children and young people's voices and consider their views.

Chief Executive: Jackie Bray
