Relationships and sexuality education for primary school students
This study evaluated a relationships and sexuality education (RSE) programme for upper primary [elementary] school-aged children, delivered by specialist relationships and sexuality educators in Queensland, Australia. Students (n = 148) in Years 4, 5 and 6 (ages 9–12 years) of six participating schools attended a two-hour programme and completed a self-report questionnaire before and after it. Parents/caregivers (n = 174) and school staff (n = 6)…
Online child sexual victimization and associated health risk behaviours and mental disorders
Online child sexual victimization (OCSV) is increasingly prevalent, but little evidence exists about associated health outcomes. This study investigates whether two types of OCSV – nonconsensual sharing of sexual images, and sexual solicitation by an adult – are associated with health risk behaviours and mental disorders. This study analyzed data from the Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS), a nationally representative cross-sectional surv…
Depression Symptom Trajectories Following Child Maltreatment
Previous reviews suggest that child maltreatment results in worse depression symptoms during adolescence and young adulthood. However, less is known about how depression symptoms evolve throughout this critical period. This systematic review evaluates changes in depression following child maltreatment and identifies factors influencing this relationship from adolescence to young adulthood. A search of APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, and Medline unt…
Parental Involvement in Programs to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
This systematic review is the first to synthesize knowledge of parental involvement in child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention programs. Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria, 24 intervention evaluations met the inclusion criteria of aiming to change parental knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, behavioral intentions, self-efficacy, response-efficacy, or capabilities for prevention of CSA. Incl…
Engaging Parents in Child-Focused Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education Strategies
Parents are their children’s first teachers and there are long-standing calls for their involvement in child sexual abuse prevention. In this rapid systematic review, we asked the following questions: what rationales are used to justify parental involvement in child-focused child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention programs? what approaches are used for parental engagement in child-focused CSA prevention programs? and what are the facilitators and barr…

This paper will be of interest to researchers, evaluators, RSE programme designers …
School-based Child Sexual Abuse Interventions
Child protection and safeguarding in initial teacher education
To improve educational outcomes for maltreated children, there is an urgent need to strengthen the capacity of the education workforce to respond appropriately to their needs. We conducted a systematic scoping review to synthesize current evidence about child protection and safeguarding in initial (pre-registration) teacher education with the aim of developing a knowledge base, and understanding what we — as researchers, teacher educators, and pr…
Building Trauma Informed Teachers
The experiences of remote teachers who work with children living with the effects of complex childhood trauma is under explored. Children from remote areas of Australia are vulnerable to complex childhood trauma as their communities can face the effects of colonization, higher rates of disadvantage and exposure to potentially traumatic circumstances, such as natural disasters and family and community violence. This is compounded by the tyranny of…
Youth Internet Safety Education
Background: This review critically examines the messages of youth internet safety education programs in the light of research about both the dynamics of internet dangers and the efficacy of youth prevention education. Methods: Using terms “internet safety education” and “digital citizenship,” a Google search identified 12 multi-topic safety programs. Review articles were identified via Google Scholar for six forms of online harm to youth that hav…
Comparing Reports of Child Sexual and Physical Abuse Using Child Welfare Agency Data in Two Jurisdictions with Different Mandatory Reporting Laws
Empirical analysis has found that mandatory reporting legislation has positive effects on case identification of child sexual abuse both initially and over the long term. However, there is little analysis of the initial and ongoing impact on child protection systems of the rate of reports that are made if a reporting duty for child sexual abuse is introduced, especially when compared with rates of reports for other kinds of child maltreatment. Th…
Doing’ socio-political sustainability in early childhood
Young children’s engagement in Education for Sustainability has focussed predominantly on their participation in environment-based initiatives or practices. Reasons for this include a notion that wider dimensions of sustainability, including social, political and economic areas of concern can be too complex and overwhelming for young children. When children experience learning around wider dimensions of sustainability, there is potential to devel…
Some things in life can’t be ‘Googled
In countries worldwide, Outdoor Education (OE) offers rich possibilities for learning. OE has been researched for many decades; however the field lacks an integrating framework for its different historical, geographical and disciplinary conceptualisations. The outcomes of OE programmes are well documented and appear diverse, yet also have common attributes suggesting there is scope for unifying approaches. Although substantive barriers to the con…
Influence of Perceived Maternal Psychological Control on Academic Performance in Chinese Adolescents
Existing studies with East Asian samples have reported inconsistent findings on the association between parental psychological control and academic performance in children and adolescents. A moderation effect is present, when the magnitude or direction of the association between two variables significantly changes with another variable called a moderator. This study explored moderators for the association between maternal psychological control an…

School-Based Education Programs for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse
Objective: To assess evidence of the effectiveness of school-based education programs for the prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA). The programs deliver information about CSA and strategies to help children avoid it and encourage help seeking. Methods: Systematic review including meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cluster RCTs, and quasi-RCTs. Results: Twenty-four studies with 5,802 participants were included. Child self-prot…
Understanding teachers' reporting of child sexual abuse
Identifying and evaluating teachers’ knowledge in relation to child abuse and neglect
The Contested Terrain of Teachers Detecting and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect
This article establishes the important role of early childhood teachers in child abuse and neglect and argues for empirical research into their practice of detecting, and reporting, known or suspected child abuse and neglect in a State with new and unique reporting obligations for teachers. It emphasizes the practical value of such research for the early childhood profession and ultimately for the children in their care
