dc.description.notesIn June 1994, the New South Wales Department of Community Services included “exposure to domestic violence” as a notifiable ‘child at risk’ category, There has been a concomitant growing recognition among child protection, and other workers, of the impact which family violence has on children. This article outlines the results of a preliminary research study conducted in 1996, which reviewed contemporary research findings, and examined practitioners' experiences of, and understanding of, some of the practice imperatives associated with working with women and their children who had lived with violence. In particular, this research considered workers’ perceptions of the practice tasks associated with balancing the needs of and interests of their women clients, while also attending to the protection of the children. Discusses some of the practice dilemmas which are experienced by workers in this arena, with particular recognition of the awareness that women who are abused in violent domestic situations, may further be held responsible for failing to protect their children. The new directive, (to notify children who are exposed to domestic violence) may contribute further to the disadvantage experienced by women clients who are seen to have ‘failed’ to protect their children. The research indicates that this issue illustrates some important themes which should be addressed in social work and social welfare education.en
