In this episode of NousCast we head inside the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, which we worked with to develop the futures planning and support for young people leaving out-of-home care. Along the way we'll hear about the needs of young people in care, the ways we co-designed with care leavers and other stakeholders to develop a model that met their needs and the culturally safe space created for First Nations people to get involved. In this episode we speak to Lynne Matthews, previously a social worker at the Department of Communities and Justice, and Monique Jackson, a Nous Principal based in Sydney who led the project. You can read more about Nous projects on our website. Note: This episode contains an instance of coarse language.
