Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human services are established to support the most vulnerable and marginalised people in our society. Yet media and other reports frequently highlight a disturbing picture of industry failures, malpractice and abuse. This book addresses the response of legal and quasi-legal bodies to human service failures. It outlines those areas of law which are most likely to be activated by human service shortcomings, and those aspects of direct human service delivery which are most likely to attract legal attention. Essential reading for those studying or working in human services and social work, this book is designed to alert people to the legal risks arising as a result of inadequate human service delivery.

Download or read book Self Others and the State written by Arlie Loughnan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal responsibility is now central to criminal law, but it is in need of re-examination. In the context of Australian criminal laws, Self, Others and the State reassesses the general assumptions made about the rise to prominence of criminal responsibility in the period since around the turn of the twentieth century. It reconsiders the role of criminal responsibility in criminal law, arguing that criminal responsibility is significant because it organises key sets of relations - between self, others and the state - as relations of responsibility. Detailed studies of decisive moments and developments since the turn of the twentieth century, and original explorations of relations of responsibility, expose the complexity and dynamism of criminal responsibility and reveal that it is the means by which matters of subjectivity, relationality and power make themselves felt in the criminal law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This book draws on archival, oral history and public policy sources to tell a history of foster care in Australia from the nineteenth century to the present day. It is, primarily, a social history which places the voices of people directly touched by foster care at the centre of the story, but also within the wider social and political debates which have shaped foster care across more than a century. The book confronts foster care’s difficult past—death and abuse of foster children, family separation, and a general public apathy towards these issues—but it also acknowledges the resilience of people who have survived a childhood in foster care, and the challenges faced by those who have worked hard to provide good foster homes and to make child welfare systems better. These are themes which the book examines from an Australian perspective, but which often resonate with foster care globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013– 17) was one of the largest public inquiries in Australian history and one of the most important investigations into child abuse internationally. It facilitated a national conversation about justice for victims and survivors and how to improve child safety in the future. Through the examination of practices in key social institutions, including churches, schools, sporting clubs, hospitals and voluntary organisations, it provided new understandings of the widespread abuse that many people had experienced in the past and it made recommendations for a national redress scheme. The Royal Commission also recommended sweeping reforms in policies, practices and institutional cultures. Offering valuable insights into the Royal Commission’s history and background, its social and cultural significance, and its implications for policy development and legislative reform, this book provides a wide-ranging analysis of the work of the Royal Commission and its social, psychological, legal and discursive impact. The chapters reveal not only the complexity of the matters that the Royal Commission was dealing with and the difficulties faced by the victims of child sexual abuse, but also the challenges of researching and writing about this sensitive topic. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Australian Studies.

Download or read book The Road to Hell written by Elizabeth Stanley and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1950s to the 1980s, the New Zealand government took more than 100,000 children from experiences of strife, neglect, poverty or family violence and placed them under state care in residential facilities. In homes like Epuni and Kingslea, Kohitere and Allendale, the state took over as parent. The state failed. Within institutions, children faced abysmal conditions, limited education and social isolation. They endured physical, sexual and psychological violence, as well as secure cells, knock-out sedatives and electro-convulsive therapy. This book tells the story of 105 New Zealanders who experienced this mass institutionalisation. Informed by thousands of pages of Child Welfare accounts, letters, health reports, legal statements as well as interviews, Stanley tells the children's story: growing up in homes characterized by violence and neglect; removal into the State's ‘care' network; daily life in the institutions; violence and punishment; and the legacy of this treatment for victims today. The state masqueraded as a good parent, but its violence and negligence made things worse for children. This book is a moving account of the experiences of those placed into state care, and a powerful call for redress and change.

Download or read book Child Protection and the Care Continuum written by Elizabeth Fernandez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new book critically examines the complex policy and practice issues surrounding child protection, including the impact of theoretical orientations, contemporary debates, policy initiatives and research findings, and maintains an emphasis on the ethics and values underpinning child welfare interventions. The book introduces policies that are central to understanding the position and needs of children and young people, and how policy and practice have been influenced by developments including the children’s rights agenda. It also explores the most significant issues in child welfare. These include: the experience of maltreatment by children, the systems of child protection to safeguard them, the methods and challenges of risk assessment, and the wide range of policy and therapeutic interventions to respond to children’s needs. The book also examines family support to promote children’s wellbeing before considering provision for children and young people who are looked after in out-of-home care. There is also a final section that focuses on best practice in communicating and working with children and young people, drawing on participatory, rights-oriented and resilience-based approaches, and supporting foster and adoptive carers and biological parents. Contributing in a substantive and clear manner to a growing international conversation about the present function and future directions for child welfare in contemporary societies, this textbook will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate social work students and those from allied disciplines, and professionals who are engaged in child welfare services.

Download or read book Protecting Children written by Queensland. Crime and Misconduct Commission and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the quality of care provided to foster children at risk of abuse in Queensland and provides recommendations for systemic change. Responding to a series of published articles in 2003 on the possible abuse of foster children in Queensland, the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) began 2 investigations, considered more than 200 submissions, and conducted 2 weeks of public hearings. As a result of the evidence that was gathered, the Commission concluded that the current child protection system has failed Queensland children in many important respects. Due to these investigative inquiries, the CMC was able to identify systemic failures within the child protection system which are identified in this report and make proposals for public sector reform, such as a whole-of-government response. The report is divided into nine chapters. Chapter 1 provides background information about the CMC's investigations and the inquiry and the current child protection system in Queensland. Chapter 2 reports on the CMC's Operation Zellow investigation in detail and the Commission's conclusions in respect of each of the nine flashpoints investigated. Chapter 3 relates some of the key themes and issues arising from the evidence before the public inquiry which include the needs of the children, workplace issues in the Department of Families, some specific foster care issues, enhancing accountability, protecting indigenous children, and effecting change. Chapters 4 through 9 contain the Commission's 110 recommendations for reform. The report concludes with a number of appendices containing relevant data arising from the CMC's inquiry processes, a list of the recommendations made, and a full list of the recommendations contained in this report. It is the expectation of the Commission that the adoption of the recommendations will offer a lasting benefit to the children of Queensland, especially those in foster care. To assess this, the Commission recommends the the Queensland Government review and report on the implementation of the report's recommendations in 2-years time.
