Predicting and preventing child removals and optimising the child protection system for Aboriginal children in partnership with Aboriginal communities and health services

在家庭外照料和儿童保护过程的每一个阶段，土著儿童的人数都过多。本研究将考察1)2000年至2013年间出生的西澳大利亚土著儿童的家庭外护理趋势；二)与留在父母照料下的儿童相比，被移走儿童的健康状况存在差异；亲属照护者和原住民基层卫生保健服务人员对如何改善儿童保护制度的看法和观点。

Aboriginal children are over-represented in out-of-home care and at every stage of the child protection process. This study will examine I) trends in out-of-home care for Western Australian Aboriginal children born between 2000 and 2013; II) differences in health for children removed compared to those who remain in their parents care; and III) the views and perspectives of kinship carers and staff from Aboriginal primary health care services about how to improve the child protection system.
