This responsibility transferred to the Office of the NSW Ombudsman on 1 January 2003. This report presents the findings of the detailed reviews of the deaths of 75 children aged 0 to 17 years registered in the three year period 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2002 in New South Wales."--Convenor's foreword. Presents the findings of a detailed review, conducted by the NSW Child Death Review Team, of child deaths as a result of, or suspected to be the result of, abuse or neglect. Chapters 1 and 2 define some of the key concepts used, provide an overview of the prevalence, incidence and types of fatal assault and neglect, and present the methodology of the study. Chapter 3 sets out the major findings of the review, highlighting factors such as circumstances of death and criminal/coronial proceedings that accompanied the death. Chapters 4 and 5 focus specifically on fatal assault and fatal neglect respectively, while Chapter 6 draws together the findings and attempts to assess their implications for future research, policy and practice. Emphasis is placed on the over-representation of Indigenous victims and the role of factors such as family violence, mental illness, criminal behaviour and other family stressors in the circumstances leading to fatal assault and neglect.
