In relation to refugee children and children of asylum seekers the primary goals are:

• To ensure the protection and healthy development of all children.
• To achieve durable solutions which are appropriate to the immediate and longterm developmental needs of children.

In order to achieve successful outcomes for children it is necessary to secure the cooperation of all departments and agencies involved in the support of children and their families.

In relation to refugee children and children of asylum seekers, solutions need to be put in place that are appropriate to their immediate and longterm developmental needs.

Early Childhood Australia is unequivocal in its call that these solutions do not include the incarceration of children, or their separation from their families.
