| Notes: | Indicates the importance of cultural competency in the child abuse and neglect area, in particular in the NSW Child Protective Services. The complexity of having a single definition of child abuse applicable to the international community is addressed. The author cites the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the NSW Children (Care & Protection) Act 1987, and contrasts child-rearing practices of different societies to explain the problem. Various measures are proposed to prevent misinterpretations and incorrect assessments, while protecting the integrity and cultural background of the child. |
