Community Services knock on your door (easy read)

Use this webpage if you live in NSW. This webpage is about what happens when Community Services knock on your door.

It explains that they may have received a Child Protection Report saying your child may not be safe. The law says they must talk to you and ask questions. They may also talk to other people and look at records to check your child is safe.

The webpage explains what staff may worry about and what they can do next. This may include making a Safety Plan, organising short-term care, or going to court. It also says you can ask for a support person or advocate to help you.
