N1  - ANROWS Research report, Issue 16, September 2022
N2  - This report presents findings from Phase 1 of a larger project entitled “Connecting the dots: Understanding the domestic and family violence experiences of children and young people with disability within and across sectors”. Phase 1 used population-level, state-linked data from a cohort of children born in Western Australia from 1990 to 2009 to examine the extent of children with disability’s exposure to DFV. To further their analysis, the research team also used a random sample of child protection case files from within a metropolitan region within South Australia.

The research found that children with disability are twice as likely to have a mother hospitalised due to a DFV assault (8% compared to 4%) and that, according to police and hospital data, children with disability made up approximately 30 per cent of children who had experienced DFV. Children with disability were also far more likely than children without disability to have child protection involvement and enter out-of-home care. (From the website).
