Abstract:
The number of notifications of child abuse is increasing rapidly so that, if the present trend continues, Australian child protection services will receive over half a million notifications of suspected child abuse in the year 2007, ten years hence. This trend has implications for teachers who contact children on a daily basis. Teachers have a duty of care for the children who are compelled to attend school, yet teachers currently have a poor record of reporting. The current preparation of Australian teachers for. participation in child protection is inconsistent with mandatory reporting requi

Abstract:
This research explores the decision making processes of individuals and groups engaged in child protection practice within social services departments in the UK. The emphasis of the research was to consider how the application of psychological theories and concepts might allow a descriptive and interpretative evaluation of decision processes in child protection practice. The research sought to elaborate upon much of previous social work literature in that it focused upon the processes of decision making rather than the outcomes for participants. Similarly it sought to elaborate upon literature

This PhD by publication consists of one single authored book, four single authored articles, two jointly authored articles in refereed journals, and five single authored chapters in edited books. It covers the period 1996-2004. A theme running through the work submitted is a concern to think `in and against feminism' in order to contribute to conceptual, policy and practice debates around child welfare and protection. Thus the work can be seen as involving an on going series of conversations with those who identify as feminists and those within child welfare and protection who see feminism as

Abstract:
Child protection recurrence exists where children and families have repeated involvement with authorities responsible for preventing and addressing harm caused by child maltreatment. Prior research has examined repeated reports, repeated investigations, and repeated substantiations of child maltreatment. Child protection recurrence is problematic for children, as concerns about abuse or neglect remain unresolved despite repeated contact with child protection authorities. For families, repeated investigations can be experienced as invasive, stressful, and stigmatising. For governments, recurren

Abstract:
Background: Child protection social work is acknowledged as a stressful career. Retaining experience in child protection teams has been a major issue due to staff turnover. In the current economic climate, with job alternatives scarce due to a freeze on recruitment, retention of staff may be undesirable. This creates a situation of individuals with the potential of being burnt out, delivering a critical function of social work. This may impact negatively on not only the well-being of staff but also the quality of the service they provide. Aims and Objectives: The overarching aim of this study

Child sexual abuse is a global issue that has affected children, families, and communities for centuries regardless of socioeconomic, religious, ethnic, race, or multicultural factors and distinctions. Sexually abused children may be reluctant to disclose sexual abuse due to perceptions or realities that their nonoffending caregiver (NOC) will not believe their reports and may fail to provide adequate protection. The purpose of this quantitative study was to assess if child demographics (i.e., age, sex, and race/ethnicity); type of sexual offense (i.e., contact or noncontact); and perpetrator

It was anticipated that the research might add to the range of studies that helped to evaluate 'refocusing', by exploring issues involved in the front line practices of social workers.

Child protection work largely relies on mothers in fulfilling its aim to protect children and support families. Mothers are expected to shield children from abuse and neglect regardless of circumstance. Fathers evade such expectations, and are rather treated as unimportant or as aggressors.

These divergent expectations of mothers and fathers often go unnoticed in child protection practice, as social workers are consumed with the urgent need of assessing risk to children.
