520			_aThis research investigated women's experiences with child protection workers. The analysis and methodology were guided by a feminist framework; in-depth interviews were conducted with 5 women who had suffered abuse by their male partners. The research found that, as child protection workers may not acknowledge the presence of family violence in their cases, they may subsequently fail to understand the constraints that women experience in their relationships with men. The study did not incorporate a formal Children, Young Persons and their Families Service (CYPFS) perspective. Since its focus was CYPFS practices, the author suggests that the study might be better utilised if the agency had more of an input in terms of clarifying the procedures that the five women were describing.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
