CHILD PROTECTION IN AUTRALIA
Part 1 (1,700 words). Use (4) references from the course readings. You must use four course readings. You do not have to use any more than four references, but you can use additional references if you like (eg. You may wish to use some of the references listed at the end of each workshop’s slides). Your paper should be 1,700 words (excluding your reference list). Use a recognised, consistent referencing style (use Harvard or APA format, unless you regularly use another referencing format in your particular discipline). Your paper should include an introduction and a conclusion. You need to address the questions below, but you do not need to answer these in any particular order or use subheadings. Ensure that the ideas and arguments throughout the paper are connected and flow logically. Use the readings (and any other relevant sources) as ‘evidence’ for your arguments/key points. Your analysis should focus on child protection in Australia. However, if your home country is not Australia, please focus on child protection in your home country if you feel this is more useful for you. Either way, you can draw on international evidence or examples, but your focus should be at a national level. You must submit your assessment online using Turnitin (via the HUSE2002 Blackboard site). In Part 1 of your paper address the following questions: • What should child protection policy and practice aim to achieve? What does it look like, from a child’s perspective, if the child protection ‘system’ works well? • Is the child protection system working well? What are the indicators that suggest improvements in child protection outcomes? What are the indicators that suggest failings in child protection outcomes? • What challenges are there in achieving the aims of child protection policy and practice? What makes child protection so difficult? • What principles and practice approaches are important in order to improve child protection outcomes and the child protection system? • What resources, services, programs or interventions offer promise or have good evidence for improving child protection outcomes?
