The role of AI in child and family services | The Centre
Join the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare for a webinar exploring how artificial intelligence can be used safely, ethically and effectively in child and family services.
From Ethics to Efficiency: The Role of AI in Child and Family Services is the first in a series of conversations about the ethical and effective use of AI in our sector. The discussion will bring together expert speakers in human rights, human-centred design and AI governance to unpack what responsible AI adoption looks like in practice.
Our panel of speakers include:
- John Croker, General Counsel, Parkville Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing Service
- Mark Davies, National Partnerships Director, Today
- Bill Simpson-Young, Chief Executive, Gradient Institute
Attendees will gain insight into the current state of AI use across the sector, key ethical and legal considerations, and practical low-risk starting points for organisations seeking to reduce administrative burden while protecting trust, safety and human judgement.
This session is designed for practitioners, leaders, policy staff, researchers and governance professionals working with children, young people and families.
