Consent
All experiences and voices are valuable for this submissions process. However, your participation is voluntary, and we ask that you only provide a submission if you wish to do so. If you have any questions about the process, please email SNAICC at familysafetyplan@snaicc.org.au.
If you have provided a submission, you can choose to withdraw it. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please email SNAICC at familysafetyplan@snaicc.org.au by 18 November 2024 and SNAICC will delete any copies of your submission. As your safety is important, please tell us in your email if it is okay for us to reply to your email with an update on your submission.
For safety, SNAICC will not publish submissions from individuals. However, SNAICC will publish written submissions from organisations and academics after the process is finalised, where consent has been provided to do so. When you upload a written submission, you will be asked to specify whether you would like your submission to be published to the SNAICC’s website. You can choose for your submission to be uploaded without identifying information, such as your organisation’s name or location.
If you change your mind about publishing your submission, please contact SNAICC at familysafetyplan@snaicc.org.au. You can contact us at any time to change your mind: if we have already published your submission, we will delete it from the webpage.
