To learn more about how Life Without Barriers and our Education Unit are making specific commitments through Strategy 2025 to enhance educational outcomes for children through our commitment to 'Revitalising education and enhancing learning outcomes for children and young people in out-of-home care'. Most importantly they can miss out on the joy and stimulation from stories and storytelling.

When a child or young person is not able to be read with confidence, it can affect how they engage in all aspects of their education. Research shows that children in out-of-home care are struggling to reach minimum national literacy benchmarks and they need support and intervention to bridge this worrying gap. All children are entitled to an education, the foundation of which is literacy and the joy and benefits of reading. It is how we connect to our culture from birth, find escape and explore and develop our imagination.

Reading to children of any age is one of the most powerful things you can do for them.
