In this webinar, Dr Dave Burck (Uni of Qld) brings young people’s voices to the forefront, with young people and mothers describing their lived experience of adolescent-to-mother violence in their own words. Dave focuses on how young people and their mothers understand and make sense of adolescent violence, in cases where the family has already experienced domestic and intimate partner violence by an adult perpetrator.
This resource is for professionals and practitioners working with adolescents using or at risk of using violence and their families. It is aimed at practitioners who need to assess the risk of adolescents engaging in violence in the future or who wish to support adolescents who have started using aggressive behaviours.
This initiative, supported by Family Safety Victoria, has involved developing a comprehensive suite of resources designed to guide Safe Steps' work in safeguarding children and young people. Resources include: Training; A policy matrix; Model policies; Resources for children and young people about their rights, safety and how to provide feedback or make a complaint. These resources have been reviewed and adjusted according to feedback received from Safe and Equal and the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare. resourcesportal.safesteps.org.au
Results from a comprehensive survey by UoM and UTAS of NSW LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of sexual violence.
A study of 3,500 young Australians found high rates of childhood online sexual victimisation, including non-consensual image sharing and adult sexual solicitation. These findings highlight the need for targeted protections and interventions to prevent online sexual exploitation, particularly of girls.
In this session, we hear from researchers from Deakin University, who investigated the links between childhood maltreatment and aggression in adults, and the moderating role of neurocognitive ability and substance use. While this research does not look specifically at young people, some of the findings have obvious implications for our work with younger cohorts.
‘I don't know what is autism, what is normal teenage behaviour, and what is naughtiness’. This article presents findings from a UK-based qualitative study that explored parents/carers experiences of child to parent violence (CPV) from their child who has a neurodevelopmental difference.
Researchers analysed data from 463 public comments posted on YouTube in response to four UK news broadcasts that reported on the problem. Using a discourse analytic approach, we examined how posted comments framed the cause of, and solutions to, CPV.
