Instead of merely emphasizing the reduction of screen time, guidelines should prioritize improving the quality of screen content and enhancing social interactions during screen use. Additionally, screen time guidelines should discourage high levels of the most high-risk behaviors like gaming.
The intersection between young people’s experiences of homelessness and domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) remains underdiscussed in policy and research. Critically absent from this discussion is young people’s input into how they would like to receive support. To address this lack of youth voice, this briefing paper platforms young people’s input into the development of a youth-focused DFSV practice framework. It highlights the important role of youth-led, trauma-informed approaches to care which model authentic relationships between young people and practitioners.
Developed by 'the Center on the Developing Child' (Harvard University), this guide provides an overview of strategies that can support executive functioning in children and adolescents.
This initiative is part of the Data Insights Roadmap, which comprises six streams of work and represents a program of short, medium and longer-term initiatives. Across the six streams, there is a focus on building capacity and capability of the DFSV service sector.

This resource sheet provides information on the minimum age of criminal responsibility across Australia’s states and territories and outlines planned changes to the minimum age in different Australian jurisdictions. It also answers some common questions about the minimum age of criminal responsibility, including why it exists, what the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) says about the minimum age of criminal responsibility and how Australia compares to the rest of the world.
The Australian Child Maltreatment Study conducts gold standard research with direct policy and practice impact. These factsheets include all knowledge translation products.

This study reports the findings of a policy audit and workforce survey of community youth justice staff in one Australian jurisdiction, South Australia.
This study presents a model which can support child protection practitioners in working with families in which DFV is identified as a risk to the safety and wellbeing of children. The model builds on the important work of other researchers who have highlighted existing problems in the way child protection systems respond to domestic violence. Moreover, it treads new ground by approaching domestic violence as a heterogenous issue which requires nuanced and individual responses, with a particular focus on differentiating between coercive control and situational couple violence.
