ANROWS Research report, Issue 01, February 2024
There has long been consensus that domestic and family violence, parental mental health issues and alcohol and other drug use are strongly interlinked and increase the risk of children and young people entering out-of-home care.
This study observes those interconnections and is one of the first external projects to use the newly established NSW Human Services Dataset (HSDS). This extensive dataset makes it possible to see how families interact with a range of services, including police, child protection and health, over time.
The study confirms the high prevalence of domestic and family violence concerns among child protection reports to the NSW Child Protection Helpline. It also found that children who are experiencing DFV, parental AOD use and parental MH issues are twice as likely to be removed from their parent’s care.
The report points to the importance of greater investment in integrated models of care for MH issues, AOD use and DFV, along with evidence-based, trauma-informed early interventions for children. These integrated models of care must address the whole person and the intersecting nature of this complex constellation of issues.
The report is the last publication from the 2020–2022 ANROWS Core Grant Research Program. This body of work has produced nation-leading evidence on the DFV experiences of children and young people. (From the website). Record #8573
