This journal article presents findings from a scoping review of articles reporting prevalence data for co-occurring CSA and DV.
The study explored practices and responses that enable or hinder disclosures of CSA, in order to enhance service system responses.
Research indicates major gaps about multiple important domains of professional practice and systemic responses to Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE).
These findings highlight the need for IPV-BI screening, neuropsychological assessment, and targeted education and therapy for this underserved population.
This article presents findings from a pre-training survey conducted in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, with child protection and law enforcement professionals. The results reinforce calls for embedding a systemic framework for disrupting CSE across key areas: (1) legislation reform, (2) strengthening organisational policy and (3) workforce upskilling in proactive disruptive practices.
This article presents findings from a secondary analysis of data from the Adolescent Family Violence in Australia (AFVA) study—the first national study of the nature, prevalence and impacts of AFV in Australia. The AFVA study involved an online survey of 5021 young people aged 16–20.
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.
Drawing on findings from a national survey of 1651 young people who reported experiences of DFV, this article enhances current understandings of how DFV impacts education and the effectiveness of school-based help-seeking for young Australians experiencing DFV. Centring the voices of young victim-survivors, our findings question the degree to which schools are presently equipped to recognise, respond to and support students who experience DFV.
This article synthesises new Australian research on filicide and outlines key predictors, risk patterns, and systemic gaps identified in coronial and case review material. It discusses the complexity of parental mental health, relationship dynamics, and service engagement.
