  • Promoting students’ safety and wellbeing: Ethical practice in schools

    Open Access•A Graham, A Canosa et al.•ARTICLE•The Australian Educational…•2023

    Although ‘child safety’ is now a national policy priority in Australia, there is little research exploring the practices in schools that contribute to children and young people’s felt sense of safety and wellbeing. Drawing on a mixed-method Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery project, this article presents findings from interviews with school staff ( N = 10), leaders ( N = 5) and nine focus groups with students ( N = 58), in primary and s…

    Sally Robinson, A Graham et al.•ARTICLE•Ethics and Social Welfare•2022•References: 7

    In recent years there has been increased focus on supporting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people with disability.

We used the theory of practice architectures to unpack the practices. Findings point to a range…

  • Children and safety in Australian policy: Implications for organisations and practitioners

    Open Access•Mary Ann Powell, A Graham et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Social Issues•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 28

    Child safety is now a national policy priority in Australia. Extensive enquiries and reviews have escalated legislative and policy responses focused on developing, maintaining and monitoring “child safe” organisations. The recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse point to the importance of cultural conditions within organisations in supporting child safety and the need for responsive change in som…

  • Memory During the Presumed Vegetative State: Implications for Patient Quality of Life

    Open Access•Nicola Taylor, Mackenzie Graham et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare…•2020

    A growing number of studies show that a significant proportion of patients, who meet the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of the vegetative state (VS), demonstrate evidence of covert awareness through successful performance of neuroimaging tasks. Despite these important advances, the day-to-day life experiences of any such patient remain unknown. This presents a major challenge for optimizing the patient’s standard of care and quality of life …

  • Domestic violence and child participation: Contemporary challenges for the 1980 hague child abduction convention

    Marilyn Freeman, Nicola Taylor•ARTICLE•The Journal of Social Welfare Law•2020•References: 1

    This article addresses two contemporary challenges for the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention: (i) domestic violence and (ii) child participation. It also outlines three components of a global socio-legal policy and research initiative undertaken to address these issues and, where relevant, their intersection. The published literature on these topics, including the children’s objections exception, is explored, as are the ways in which these ch…

  • Child safety in policy: Who is being kept safe and from what

    Open Access•Mary Ann Powell, A Graham et al.•ARTICLE•Social Policy and Administration•2020•Cited by: 5•References: 46

    Keeping children safe from harm is a national policy priority in Australia. Extensive inquiries and reviews have highlighted institutions' persistent failures to respond ethically and appropriately to child abuse and its life‐long impacts on survivors. Policy efforts now reflect considerable emphasis on safeguarding children, including through the development of ‘child safe’ organisations. The realisation of these policy aspirations requires clos…

Graduates from all eight New Zealand universities were surveyed be…

  • Child Participation: Overcoming Disparity between New Zealand’s Family Court and Out-of-court Dispute Resolution Processes

    Nicola Taylor•ARTICLE•The International Journal of…•2017•Cited by: 6•References: 2

    This article considers children’s right to participate in the context of private law disputes concerning their post-separation, day-to-day care and contact arrangements. In New Zealand the approach to ascertaining children’s views has been both long-standing and systematic for contested proceedings within the Family Court (via children’s legal representatives and judicial meetings with children). However, major reform of the family justice system…

  • Size and emotion or depth and emotion? Evidence, using Matryoshka (Russian) dolls, of children using physical depth as a proxy for emotional charge

    Open Access•A K Dunn, Nicola Taylor et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Psychology•2013

    The size and emotion effect is the tendency for children to draw people and other objects with a positive emotional charge larger than those with a negative or neutral charge. Here we explored the novel idea that drawing size might be acting as a proxy for depth (proximity). Forty-two children (aged 3-11 years) chose, from 2 sets of Matryoshka (Russian) dolls, a doll to represent a person with positive, negative or neutral charge, which they plac…

  • Constructions of rural childhood: Challenging dominant perspectives

    Nicola Taylor, Tania Signal et al.•ARTICLE•Anthrozoös•2009•Cited by: 28•References: 15

    Despite the increasing interest in, and scope of, human–animal studies, few statistically robust measures of attitudes towards animals exist beyond the Animal Attitude Scale (AAS—Herzog, Betchart and Pittman 1991). While extensively utilized, the AAS does not discriminate between categories of animals, that is, pet, pest, and commercially valued species. The current study was therefore conducted to develop a scale aimed at isolating differences i…

  • Rethinking Children's Involvement in Decision-Making after Parental Separation

    Open Access•Anne B Smith, Nicola J Taylor et al.•ARTICLE•Childhood•2003•Cited by: 49•References: 9

    This article argues that the assumption that it is a burden of responsibility for children to be involved in family or legal decision-making is problematic. Each child and family situation is unique, and children's perspectives provide valuable information on this. Children can communicate their views, intentions and difficulties provided that their social contexts and adult partners are sensitive to their perspectives. Within this context, the a…

  • In It for the Nonhuman Animals: Animal Welfare, Moral Certainty, and Disagreements

    Nicola Taylor•ARTICLE•Society and Animals•2004•Cited by: 10•References: 2

    Based on three years' ethnographic research with animal sanctuary workers, this paper argues that a level of moral certainty drives and justifies many of the workers' actions and beliefs. Similar to the "missionary zeal" of nonhuman animal rights activists, this moral certainty divides the world into two neat categories: good for the animals and bad for the animals. This overriding certainty takes precedence over other concerns and pervades all a…
