Outcomes Framework for children and young people
South Australia’s Outcomes Framework for Children and Young People, supports the wellbeing and development of children and young people from birth to 18 years in this State by:
- monitoring, reviewing and reporting on how they are developing and progressing over time across five dimensions – Wellbeing, Health, Safety, Education and Preparing for adulthood
- supporting and guiding State Authorities to create strategies, set objectives and develop policies, programs and initiatives both individually and collectively.
The Framework provides a structured approach to determine how children and young people fare in each dimension, by providing the evidence that shows if improved outcomes are equally shared by all. For each indicator there is a set of measures that allows progress to be tracked.
Embedded in the Framework is the Charter for Children and Young People with 20 aspirational conditions, that all young South Australians can and should have to thrive.
