Children’s experience of surviving the web of exploitation
Intensified climate extremes and land-use shifts under global change have increased soil erosion uncertainties, demanding precise assessments of the erodibility K value for sustainable management. However, how slope aspect (SA) and topographic relief (TR) interact to influence K remains poorly understood, especially in complex karst terrains. This study addresses this gap by investigating the interacting effects of SA and TR on forest soil erodib…
Financially Coerced ‘Self‐Produced’ Child Sexual Exploitation Material
Perpetrators financially coerce children to ‘self‐produce’ child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). A harmful dominant narrative has historically blamed victims by framing this form of child sexual exploitation as ‘children engaging in sex work’ obfuscating the tactics of perpetrators. There is limited evidence about the way professionals who support these children construct accountability. This study aimed to explore professionals' constructio…
How do Concepts and Measures of Children’s Well-being Outcomes Align with Perspectives of Care-Experienced Children? A Scoping Review
Children in alternative care score consistently lower on measures of well-being outcomes. However, research on children’s well-being outcomes and the fulfilment of their human rights have overlooked their experiences. Therefore, this scoping review aims to understand how children’s well-being outcomes are conceptualised, operationalised and measured – and compare these with consultations with care-experienced children from the UN Committee on the…
Flows and Bottlenecks
Purpose Collaboration between domestic and family violence (DFV) and substance use sectors can enhance client outcomes, however, it also presents challenges. This study identified areas of inquiry, which created collaborative flows and bottlenecks between domestic violence and substance use professionals. Methods Adopting a system’s approach to action research, an Australian Policy Stakeholder Group was formed. Over a two-year period, senior poli…
Working Metaphors
Collaboration between services addressing domestic violence and substance use presents scope for enhancement. This study presents the first stage of an Australian action research project that aimed to investigate cross‐sector collaboration between domestic violence and substance use services. The study employed purposive sampling for data collection, with the primary author conducting semistructured interviews with 26 senior policy workers, pract…
Social Workers in Socio-Legal Collaborations
Current legal discourse puts forward socio-legal collaborations, integrated social work and legal practice and medical/legal partnerships as innovations from the legal sector aimed at resolving clients’ intertwined legal and social issues. In doing so it has generalised and diminished the specific contribution in these programmes of highly skilled social work staff. This article sets out a study of Australian socio-legal collaborations to re-esta…
Designing a Multinational Smartphone App Survey during Covid-19
Cost-effective and user-friendly, mobile phone-assisted methods have remained underutilized in qualitative social science research. The scarce methodological guidance, together with recruitment and ethical challenges, has arguably stifled advancements in this area. COVID-19 exposed the need to better equip researchers with the expertise and tools to conduct remote research effectively. In 2020, we designed and launched a smartphone survey applica…
Effective child well-being practices, barriers and priority actions
Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore 232 service providers’ and policymakers’ experiences of supporting children’s well-being during the pandemic, across sectors, in 22 countries – including Kenya, the Philippines, South Africa, India, Scotland, Sweden, Canada and the USA, in the last quarter of 2020. Design/methodology/approach A smartphone survey delivered via a custom-built app containing mostly open-ended questions was used. Respo…
Long-term analysis of a savings program in elementary school
The prevalence of in-school savings programs (ISSPs) for children and youth is widespread, but research on their effectiveness is limited. This study investigates the long-term effects of an ISSP conducted in one U.S. elementary school. Survey data were collected on the financial behaviors of high school students, who participated in or did not participate in an ISSP while attending the same elementary school at the same time. The results from a …
Who Gets to Define Success? Listening to Stories of How People Value Firefox to Redefine Metrics and Revive a Decommissioned Product
Challenging measures of scale is possible through listening to stories of how people value a product, and envisioning ways to measure success beyond typical metrics like Monthly Active Use (MAU) or Daily Active Use (DAU).Understanding what people value is somewhat complex for a product like Firefox because people might use Firefox every day without thinking much about it. In this case study, we detail how we used Futures Thinking and participator…
Developing family-based care
In response to immense challenges facing children in out-of-home care in all parts of the world, there is a growing international trend towards the development of family-based placements for children in out-of-home care, away from large-scale institutions. This development of family-based care within a range of care options is recommended within the international Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children (the Guidelines), which were welcome…
Moving Forward
This article proposes that the new UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children usher in a new international rights-based policy framework for care-leavers. It acknowledges the global nature of the concerns, reviews a growing body of international literature and examines key debates, illustrated by policy orientations and practice examples drawn from the authors’ experience of developing Moving Forward (Cantwell, Davidson, Elsley, Milligan,…
