Kids' Corner
Supporting children through family change
When families change, children have questions, feelings, and experiences that matter. Kids’ Corner is a dedicated online resource to help children better understand what is happening when their family is involved in court proceedings.
What is Kids' Corner?
Kids’ Corner provides developmentally appropriate, child-friendly resources, including:
- engaging animations
- stories told from a child’s perspective
- clear, simple explanations of court processes.
It helps children make sense of family change in a way that is safe, accessible, and reassuring.
Why is it useful for professionals and carers?
Explaining family law processes to children can be challenging.
Children may hear unfamiliar words like ‘family court’, ‘judge’, or ‘lawyer’ without understanding what they mean.
Kids’ Corner supports you by offering:
- plain-language explanations of common legal terms
- information for children about family assessments
- insights into feelings children may experience during family change
- links to further support and trusted resources for children.
Kids’ Corner can help build understanding, reduce anxiety, and support children’s wellbeing.
Supporting meaningful conversations
Kids’ Corner can be used as a conversation starter, helping professionals and carers:
- explain what is happening and why
- reassure children in a clear, honest way
- encourage children to express their thoughts and emotions.
