What Risk and Protective Factors Influence the Relationship Between Child Sexual Abuse Disclosure and Suicidal Behaviours? A Scoping Review of the Literature
This scoping review examined risk and protective factors that influence the relationship between disclosure of child sexual abuse and suicidal thoughts or behaviours. While child sexual abuse is a well-established risk factor for suicidality, disclosure experiences and suicide risk remain underexplored. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s method of scoping, a systematic search of Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus was conducted for English-languag…
Contextual Assessment in Evaluation: Applying the Contextual Factors Framework to Inform the Findings of a Rural Health Promotion Program Evaluation
Capturing context in public health evaluation remains challenging despite its recognized importance. The contextual factors framework (CFF) offers potential support for this process, but real-world applications are limited. This study applied the CFF to conduct contextual assessment of a rural Australian health promotion grant program and explore its utility in this setting. An exploratory qualitative approach involved an in-depth contextual asse…

Voluntary Group Programs For Men Who Use Violence: A Scoping Review
Intimate partner violence remains a pervasive issue globally, affecting individuals, families, and communities at alarming rates. While interventions have traditionally focused on supporting victims and survivors, including court-mandated behavioral change programs for men who perpetrate violence, there is a growing need to explore voluntary programs for men who use violence. This reflects a broader shift toward prevention, education, and support…
Perceptions of Social Work in Australia: What Do Social Workers Think
How Children and Young People Disclose That They Have Been Sexually Abused: Perspectives From Victims and Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
Child sexual abuse is a pervasive social and public health concern with high social and economic costs. Children and young people who experience this form of abuse are in danger of serious, ongoing impacts on their development, functioning and overall life trajectory as a result of the lasting influence of complex trauma. The recent research, drawing from young adult self‐reports, has found that more than one in three girls and almost one in five…
Aboriginal youth mentoring: A Pathway to Leadership
This article shares findings from evaluating a mentoring programme for Aboriginal youth on Yorta Yorta (an Aboriginal Tribal nation, north-eastern Victoria and Southern New South Wales, Australia) Country. This work is positioned in First Nations worldviews that are relational and require deep listening to youth, mentors, Elders, Country, and Ancestors. Applying a qualitative participatory action research design, methods involved attending camps …
Transformational Mentoring Experiences for First Nations Young People: A Scoping Review
While Aboriginal youth mentoring has been used as a teaching process for thousands of years and the tradition continues, little attention has been paid to documenting what elements make learning experiences transformational. As part of the evaluation of the Aldara Yenara mentoring program, this Aboriginal-led scoping review examined literature about transformational mentoring programs from Canada, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand to understand …
Critical Reflective Learning in Social Work Graduate Research: Learnings from an Australian Study in Child Protection Service Delivery
Assumptions and worldviews shape social work research, particularly when influenced by settler colonialism in contemporary Australia. This article explores experiences from graduate research drawing on Ruch’s model of reflective learning and Fook and Gardner’s action-orientated approach to critical reflection. Written following PhD completion, it investigates significant learnings by reviewing reflective journal entries, feedback on draft manuscr…
Integrating Facility Dogs into Legal Contexts for Survivors of Sexual and Family Violence: Opportunities and Challenges
Giving evidence in court can be stressful, especially for children. Since increased anxiety is associated with an increased likelihood of unreliable testimony among children, reducing anxiety in this context is important to improve the quality of evidence. Dogs have been used in legal settings, such as courtrooms, to provide comfort for vulnerable witnesses. Preliminary evidence supports their use, but further research is needed to better underst…
Transnational Social Workers’ Understanding of Australian First Nations Perspectives in Statutory Child Protection
Chronic staff shortages and high rates of turnover in child protection programs create opportunities for social work mobility across the world. Australian child protection departments actively recruit social workers from the United Kingdom and Ireland. This strategy may cause tension relating to the application of known Western social work practice and theory and limited understanding of Australian First Nations worldviews. Australia continues to…
The Role of Place for Transnational Social Workers in Statutory Child Protection
This article explores the experience and influence of place amongst transnational social workers. The concept of ‘place’ may be perceived as quietly existing in the background of everyday social work practice. Yet, transnational social workers in this study tell a different story about what happens to the role of place when social workers become globally mobile. The social work profession is embedded in place; qualifications and applications of s…
Transnational social workers’ lived experience in statutory child protection
The experience of loss and grief affects migrating social workers who enter an unfamiliar child protection environment. This paper highlights themes that emerged from the narratives of 13 transnational social workers, who were educated and practised in the United Kingdom or Ireland before being recruited to Australia’s statutory child protection workforce. The recruitment of social workers from overseas is an approach used across Australia to bac…
