CREATE launches to Planet Right!

Books

Below are two awesome videos by CREATE that were launched by the Hon. Mary Wooldridge this week at CREATE. Based on the Charter for children and young people in out-of-home care in Victoria, all the resources were part of the Getting It Right Project and will help children and young people in care understand what they can expect. 

You can also check out the books that go with the videos by pressing on the links below and even read along to the Planet Right book. Have Fun!
