SFLEX (Stronger Families Learning Exchange) Bulletins
SFLEX (Stronger Families Learning Exchange) Bulletins were produced during the initial phase of the former Stronger Families and Communities Strategy (2000-2004).
During this time the Communities and Families Clearinghouse Australia (CAFCA) was known as the Stronger Families Learning Exchange.
The purpose of SFLEX was to contribute to the formation of an evidence base from which to inform policy, practice and research in strengthening families and communities. More information about SFLEX.
SFLEX Bulletins were used to disseminate information to stakeholders on a range of topics such as action research, evaluation, community development and collaboration.
SFLEX Bulletins are no longer being produced by CAFCA; however, the information provided may be of use to policy-makers, practitioners and researchers working in a field related to the planning, delivery and/or evaluation of child and family services.
