This discussion is framed by a concern, fuelled by growing evidence, that the statutory child protection system in a number of Australian jurisdictions is in danger of being overwhelmed by referrals of children affected by domestic violence. At one level, this reflects a positive recognition that children can be profoundly affected by living with domestic violence. It is a testament to the work undertaken in Australia (Breckenridge and Laing 1999; Gevers 1999) and elsewhere (Mullender and Morley 1994; Jaffe et al. 1990), to highlight the needs of children affected by domestic violence. It could be argued that this work has, in fact, been successfully translated into mainstream service provision (Fraser 1989). From introduction.
