Creating Family by Family
The Australian Centre for Social Innovation set up our team to solve big, social problems.
Our problem? Too many families-in-crisis, interfacing with state systems, and too few families thriving.
Our process? A design + policy process which works with people to reset outcomes, co-design ideas, prototype solutions, and build the case for scale.
Our resources? A social worker / systems insider, a designer, a sociologist, a city in South Australia, a child protection system, a centre for social innovation, and families of all shapes and sizes.
Our timeline? 9 months to develop solutions with families, and the structure to take it all to scale.
Our status? It’s now month 4 and we’re about to prototype Family by Family. Our concept to enable family thriving. Here’s what the past four months have looked like…
