Domestic violence and child protection : challenging directions for practice Humphreys, Catherine
Material type:
ArticleSeries: ADFVC issues paperPublication details: Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse 2006Description: electronic document (24 p.); PDF file: 400 KB : RTF file 200 KBSubject(s): Online resources: ADFVC isues paper, 2007, no. 13Summary: TNote - ADFVC papers have been archived by National Library of Australia. If this link fails, please contact NZFVC or ANROWS to obtain this paper. 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.
