Ask Secure Start

We are testing a new chatbot to further assist visitors to this website. It is in the development phase and is for general information purposes only. As such, it does not replace individual clinical advice and care.

The Secure Start Chat Assistant

Ask about child protection, out-of-home care, and how Colby might conceptualise or respond in general terms, based on his published work. This is educational only and not individual advice.

Hi, I’m the Secure Start Chat Assistant. I can share general, trauma-informed perspectives based on Colby Pearce’s published ideas about child protection and out-of-home care. What would you like to explore?

This chatbot is for general information and education only. It does not provide clinical, legal, or crisis advice. If a child is at risk, contact your local child protection service or emergency services immediately.
