In 2014 and early 2015 Family Inclusion Strategies in the Hunter Inc (FISH) held two landmark research and practice forums designed to explore the importance of family inclusion in child protection and out of home care practice and of family relationships for children in care. The forums included the voices of parents and carers with children in care and dramatically highlighted the need for this research. The research team was formed following those events.
