| dc.description.notes | Full title: "...as a good parent would..." : Inqury into the adequacy of the provision of residential care services to Victorian children and young people who have been subject to sexual abuse or sexual exploitation whilst residing in residential care. <br/ >August 2015<br/ ><br/ >"It is an indictment on us all that our most damaged children, some as young as seven, are suffering sexual abuse in statefunded residential care. We urgently need immediate action<br/ >and systemic reform. There must be bipartisan collaboration to commit and refocus resources, radical thinking by our policy makers and a sustained effort to change residential<br/ >care. We believe it is time to draw a line in the sand and to move forward in a proactive child-focused manner.<br/ ><br/ >In the past 12 months, we have examined reports relating to 166 children (25 of whom were Aboriginal) who have allegedly been sexually abused whilst living in Victorian residential care.<br/ >Some of these children were subject to multiple reports of sexual abuse in care. Others were reported to be raped or sexually assaulted by other children in their residential care<br/ >unit. These are places that are meant to offer them safety and sanctuary from the abuse and trauma that led to their placement away from their families.<br/ ><br/ >We interviewed 87 Departmental and CSO staff, visited 21 residential care units throughout Victoria, heard directly from many children, reviewed children's files and received<br/ >public submissions. The dedication of those who work so tirelessly in residential<br/ >care is greatly appreciated, however it is so often distracted by a system that makes it challenging to act as a good parent would. This report is about the children.<br/ ><br/ >There are significant flaws in the system. Children who have been sexually abused whilst living in residential care do not always receive the same care and attention as children in<br/ >families. They are often not connected to culture, and they may not receive adequate professional or specialist support, nuturance and care." | en |
