Predicting and preventing child removals and optimising the child protection system for Aboriginal children in partnership with Aboriginal communities and health services [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Aboriginal children are over-represented in out-of-home care and at every stage of the child protection process. This study will examine I) trends in out-of-home care for Western Australian Aboriginal children born between 2000 and 2013; II) differences in health for children removed compared to those who remain in their parents care; and III) the views and perspectives of kinship carers and staff from Aboriginal primary health care services about how to improve the child protection system.
