The Commission of Inquiry considers the voices of children and young people are vitally important in bringing about change.

In 2021, it engaged researchers to hear from children and young people directly on their experiences of child safety in institutions.

The "Take notice, believe us and act!" report (PDF, 2.0 MB) explores the views of 59 children and young people in government-run organisations.

They are from Tasmanian public schools, out of home care, hospitals and youth detention.

The research has allowed the Commission to hear from Tasmanian children about what makes them feel safe (and unsafe) and how systems and policies could improve and be more child-centred.
