Definition
ChildStory is a collaboration tool that places the child at the centre of their story and builds a network of family, carers, caseworkers and service providers around them. Users will have access to information on a child, so they can better support them. ChildStory is the department’s information technology system for child protection and wellbeing. It encourages collaboration between a child’s network of family, carers, caseworkers and service providers to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
