| dc.description.notes | Cover: "November 2000"<br/ >See our Research and Resources database for information on the conference paper of the same name.<br/ >Report of a research study which aimed to: ‘gather information on the way in which the legal and welfare systems respond to women and children affected by violence and abuse after separation’. Data were collected from the literature; interviews with staff in key agencies; a survey of welfare and legal practitioners; and focus group and individual interviews with resident parents. The findings from the focus groups describe the nature of violence and abuse experienced by the women and their children both prior to and after separation, and the women’s experience of contact with legal and welfare agencies in attempting to establish safety for their children and themselves. Consistent with other research, this study found that domestic violence and child abuse frequently co-exist, but that the effects on women and children of living with violence and abuse are poorly understood by decision-makers in the welfare and legal systems. Argues for the use of a ‘family violence’ framework rather than the current framework of ‘relationship breakdown’ in order to adequately address violence in considering the ‘best interests of the child’. Contains a comprehensive range of recommendations relating to the issues identified through the research process. | en |
