It's been a busy year for the CFCA information exchange.

In 2017, we produced nine new papers and practitioner resources across a range of key topics, including child protection, family violence, playgroups and program evaluation; we published a number of new resource sheets and updated our existing ones, and we hosted nine webinars with almost 4,000 participants. Our highlights for the year are below.

Thank you for all your support this year. If you would like to provide feedback or offer suggestions for what you’d like us to cover in 2018, please contact us via the CFCA helpdesk now available through the CFCA news. Subscribe here.
