The Guardian for Children and Young People monitors the circumstances of children under the guardianship, or in the custody, of the Minister for Families and Communities.
This Report summarises the observations and data gathered by the Office of the Guardian in 2008-2009. The data is organised under 12 quality statements based on the 37 rights in the children's charter.
One observation made is that most children in state care are well cared for and demonstrate this in their own enthusiasm, achievement and cheerfulness.
