This is a very useful resource document compiled by Michelle Scott, the West Australian Commissioner for Children and Young People. It showcases a selection of 82 evidence-based programs from Western Australia and across Australia that demonstrate best or promising practice in strengthening the wellbeing of children and young people.
“Evidence-based policy and practice is critical to improving the wellbeing of young Australians, so it is vital that agencies have easy access to information about programs that are working."
"Building Blocks – Best practice programs that improve the wellbeing of children and young people does just that; it provides a selection of programs with information and data that will assist government, non-government agencies and the private sector to make informed decisions about evidence-based programs and thereby achieve maximum benefits with limited resources.” Michelle Scott – Commissioner for Children and Young People WA
