Identify and challenge policies, behaviours, and beliefs that perpetuate racist ideas and practices, to help ensure that the family justice system operates with anti-racist and non-discriminatory principles at both individual and institutional levels.
Leveraging the latest research and evidence-informed practice, RJFN raises awareness of the scope and effects of racism, and equips members with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to drive systemic change.
Facilitates training and events, provides a forum for members to work collaboratively, share knowledge, identify common areas of interest or concern, explore ideas, discuss priorities, and pinpoint specific issues requiring collective action (where this is likely to achieve more than doing so separately).
Supports stakeholders and professional development leads with strategies to assess, plan, implement, monitor, and review anti-racist action plans. RJFN empowers all family justice participants to approach court processes and evaluate evidence through an anti-racist lens.
