N2  - In Australia, at the national and state level, there is increasing acknowledgement of the need to better respond to children and young people as victim-survivors of family violence in
their own right. The recently released National Plan to end Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032 (Department of Social Services, 2022) embeds this acknowledgement, and there have been calls at the state and national level to ensure that early intervention and system resp nses are reformed to ensure age-appropriate and child-centred practices.
Despite this, to date there has been minimal research conducted directly with children and young people who have experienced family violence. We acknowledge the paramount
importance of ensuring the safety of young persons and of meeting critical ethical considerations; yet, as Victoria progresses its family violence reform agenda, it is also vitally
important that that the views and expertise of young victim-survivors are drawn upon to influence policy and practice design. This study privileges the voices of children and young
people with lived experience of family violence. It seeks to extend current understandings of how child-specific risk
identification, assessment and management practices can best be developed, implemented and embedded across Victoria. (From the Executive summary). Record #8059
