School was just a nightmare’

This paper examines the experiences at school of a group of respondents who had been subject to abuse and neglect during their childhood and adolescence.

It’s been really, really hard’
The aim of the research reported in this paper was to explore the perspectives and insights of emergency relief recipients in relation to their complex health problems, which had contributed to their position of needing to seek emergency relief.

Non-probability sampling was used, employing the convenience sam…
The Ethics of Involving Children Who Have Been Abused in Child Abuse Research
Is it ethical for children to experience pain or sadness when talking about their experiences of abuse for purposes of research? Can they be re-traumatised by this experience? How can confidentiality be guaranteed if there are concerns about current abuse? These are some of the ethical questions that arise when children who have been abused are involved in research. Yet it is also recognised that children have a right to be involved in research. …
Human Rights Overboard
In 2005, in the wake of the Cornelia Rau scandal, a citizen's inquiry was established to bear witness to events in Australia's immigration-detention facilities. Until then, the federal government had refused to conduct a broad-ranging investigation into immigration detention, and the operations within detention centres had been largely shrouded in official secrecy. The People's Inquiry into Detention (as it came to be called) heard heartbreaking …
Some Australian Children's Perceptions of Physical Punishment in Childhood
Despite ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, children remain the only people in Australia against whom violence may be justified as discipline. This article presents findings from qualitative research conducted in the State of Victoria, in which children were invited to contextualise incidents of physical punishment by describing the experience from different standpoints and reflecting on the feelings and moti…
Living on an island

A qualitative research strategy involving in‐depth interviews with individuals was used to help achieve the study's aim. The study found that interviewees detailed multiple risks to their development during childhood and adolescence, including experiences of c…
Sweet and Sour Charity
Emergency relief is assistance provided by community agencies to people in financial crisis, usually recipients of income support payments. The present study reports on an exploratory, qualitative study of the experiences of people who seek emergency relief. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 emergency relief recipients from seven different agencies. Although the interviewees reported some positive experiences, distinct limitations …
Intimate partner violence
Evidence suggests that children who live with intimate partner violence between their parents or caregivers are at risk for psychological and behavioural problems. This paper presents an overview of the substantial body of literature now existing in this field. It reports on the prevalence of intimate partner abuse in developed countries and the potentially large population of children who experience conflict of this nature. Rates of co-occurrenc…

The Textual Abuse of Childhood in the English-Speaking World
Research at Monash University, Australia, highlights how the language chosen by some journalists and academics to refer to the child and the child's experiences may both reflect and influence the position and rights accorded to children in the English-speaking world. The authors contend that the current low status of children, and lack of respect given to their rights, may be perpetuated through `textual abuse'. This article particularly highligh…

How these women made sense of their sexual abuse, and view the impact of it on their lives, is portrayed from their perspective. The researcher worked collaboratively with the women throughout the research. The research is qualitative and is aimed at giving the reader insights into how these women survived the trauma of incest. The results of th…
Child Sexual Abuse
Child Protection and the Need for the Reappraisal of the Social Worker-Client Relationship
Renewed interest in child abuse has brought both an increase in employment opportunities for social workers and considerable criticism, especially in Britain, for failing to protect abused children. This article proposes that the development of distinct child protection services has not been matched by the necessary review of the traditional social worker-client relationship. The central place of this relationship is critically analysed and it is…
