1 Reconciliation Action Plan 2o13-2o15
2 Acknowledgement of Country Save the Children respectfully acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we work, and pays respect to Elders past and present. Foreword I am delighted to introduce Save the Children Australia s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) which embodies Save the Children s enduring commitment to Reconciliation. Having supported Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families for over 50 Years, Save the Children made a public commitment to Reconciliation with the development of its first RAP in As an organisation we learnt a lot about Reconciliation through the implementation of the RAP. We ve used these learnings, together with insights and knowledge from staff nationally and the expertise of our Reconciliation Advisory Committee (RAC), to develop our latest three year plan. This RAP continues the work and actions outlined in our first RAP and our commitment to Closing the Gap. It has an increased focus on the professional development of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff; dedication to strengthening community owned and controlled services and initiatives around Australia; and a commitment of respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture across Save the Children. I look forward to working with our passionate and dedicated RAC and Save the Children staff to implement our RAP and continuing our journey to Reconciliation. Suzanne Dvorak, Chief Executive Officer our vision Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. our mission Our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. page b

4 Our Vision for Reconciliation Save the Children s vision for reconciliation is centred on realising the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, their families and communities. We believe that for reconciliation to take place the history of injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must be acknowledged and the diversity of their cultures and heritage recognised and respected. Our vision is of a reconciled Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children can reach their full potential and where their right to survival, development and protection is attained. This means working closely with communities, building relationships based on equity and respect, and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to play a meaningful role in the development of policies and programs that affect them. Reconciliation is a long term process, and Save the Children is firmly committed to bringing our vision of reconciliation to life at every level of our organisation and through every aspect of our programs, policy work and relevant operations. Our Reconciliation Action Plan Our Reconciliation Action Plan is a significant document outlining how Save the Children will continue to bring its vision of reconciliation to life, both within the organisation and through our program and policy work. The Reconciliation Action Plan is a high level plan, developed by Save the Children s Reconciliation Advisory Committee, drawing on the achievements and learning from the previous Reconciliation Action Plan ( ), and through extensive consultation with staff. Each year indicators will be operationalised through Business and State Plans. The implementation of this plan will be overseen by the Reconciliation Advisory Committee. The Committee, established in 2011, gives a voice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff within the organisation, and will continue to play an instrumental role in guiding the reconciliation process and informing our work more broadly. Both Aboriginal and non-aboriginal staff are members. The Reconciliation Advisory Committee reports to the Executive Team via executive advocates. The Reconciliation Action Plan builds on the strengths of the previous plan, and extends the organisation s commitments to meaningful partnerships; strengthening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations; advocating for supportive policies and giving a voice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people in public policy discussions; building a culturally aware workforce that is respectful of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and modelling this respect in the communities where we work; and providing career development and leadership opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within our organisation. This plan is a significant step forward in our reconciliation journey, and brings us closer to our vision of a reconciled Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children reach their full potential. I took this photo because I wanted to represent the different skin tones of Aboriginal People. I am Aboriginal, but I am white. I often get teased for being a white/black. I felt ashamed of my skin colour, until I took this photo. Racism has to stop everywhere in Australia. Aboriginal girl South East Perth PhotoVoice Project participant page 2
5 Our Business Save the Children is an independent, not-for-profit organisation working to achieve lasting change in the lives of children in 120 countries around the world. Save the Children is driven to protect and uphold the rights of children, and under the framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), strives to realise child rights through innovation, partnership and policy development. We also acknowledge the importance of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in recognising the particular challenges they have face in numerous countries around the world. Save the Children s global programs focus on six key initiatives, including Child Protection, Child Rights Governance, Education, HIV and AIDS, EVERY ONE (Health and Nutrition), and Emergency and Humanitarian Response. Our programs in Australia focus on Education and Child Protection. In Australia, we work in over 100 sites across the country (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities), and reach more than 20,000 children, young people and their parents each year. Education programs include Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), Access to School and Youth Engagement programs; Child Protection programs focus on parenting support; and emergencies.

6 Relationships Save the Children will continue to strengthen its relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations. Save the Children works in meaningful partnerships to support the participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, their families and communities in the public policy discussions that affect their lives and to support the development of policies and programs that fulfill their rights. Focus areas Continue to support and promote Save the Children s Reconciliation Advisory Committee to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people s perspectives are acknowledged and valued within the organisation. Build new, and strengthen existing, partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations. Build capacity and support increased participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the development of policy and programs that affect them. South East Perth PhotoVoice Project participant When I was in year 2 everyone was asked to put our handprint on the wall. It makes me remember all the kids that left. It reminds me of my culture and how Aboriginals did their paintings in the past. I feel that lots of people think that Aboriginals are bad and stuff because they drink. I like being Aboriginal, but when I tell people I am, they don t believe me because I am white. This makes me feel sad. Aboriginal boy Photo: Sonya Sleep/Save the Children page 4

Celebration and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures within our programs and the communities where we work. South East Perth PhotoVoice Project participant Photo: Save the Children This photo of the Aboriginal Flag represents lots of different Aboriginal Tribes. It represents my family, my culture and me. It also represents the racism that exists in Australia between blacks and whites and different skin tones. I feel that as Aboriginal people we can t be trusted because we are black. We often get blamed and get racist looks and comments for things that one person might do in our communities. Aboriginal child page 6
