Who are NSW Community Services? (easy read)

Use this webpage if you live in NSW. This webpage is about NSW Community Services, now called the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ).

It explains what Community Services does and why they may come to your home. They check that children are safe and well. Sometimes they may need to take a child away if they think the child is not safe.

The webpage also explains how you can get help. It says you can ask for clear written information, get support from someone you trust, and talk to a lawyer.
