Community Capacity Building in Child Protection Through Responsive Regulation

在这个国家，虐待儿童是一个严重的问题。向国家当局报告的案件数量正在增加。最近的估计显示，澳大利亚每两分钟就有一名儿童受到虐待。这项研究开发了一种创新的方法，在保护儿童的同时促进对家庭的更多支持。通过利用和建设社区能力，这一办法有可能通过早期干预和改善与家庭的合作，更有效地利用现有资源。该项目旨在以加强社区的方式减少虐待和忽视儿童造成的事件和伤害，同时加强儿童保护机构的廉正。

Neglect and abuse of children is a critical issue in this country. The number of cases reported to state authorities is increasing. Recent estimates show that a child is abused every 2 minutes in Australia. This research develops an innovative approach that protects children while promoting greater support for families. By harnessing and building community capacity this approach has the potential to make more efficient use of existing resources through earlier intervention and improved cooperation with families. This project aims to reduce the incidents and harm caused by child abuse and neglect in ways that strengthen communities, while enhancing the integrity of child protection agencies.
