Listen to @ACCPUniSA Director and 2025 @ausoftheyear for SA, Prof @LeahBromfield, explain why we need a radical overhaul of the country's child protection sector, focusing on helping people in need, not punishing them: brnw.ch/21wOYir #ChildAbuse #neglect

@westaustralian Increased frequency and reliability of service to make it a viable alternative to more people would have a wider impact.

KATE EMERY: If I could steal one thing from Queensland and claim it for WA it would be Bluey. But second would be the Sunshine State’s plan to cap public transport fees at 50c a trip. buff.ly/4bEfwuf

Hello! I'm keen to hear about victim-survivors' experiences and perceptions of police interviews in sexual offence cases in Australia. Please share and feel free to get in touch if you're interested in being interviewed for the project.

New book - free to download - Justice and Recovery for Victimised Children - exploring the Barnahus model in Europe: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

In the next couple of months, we will host webinars and workshops to share eye-opening research findings, knowledge and tools for greater social impact. Hope you can join us! mailchi.mp/uwa/csi_uwa_q2…

Why don't people report child abuse? Dr. Wendy Walsh of the @CCRCunh joined #OneinTen #podcast to explore how we can overcome those barriers. #ItsYourBusiness to report child abuse. You may be the only one who will. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Walsh now: oneintenpodcast.org/episodes/the-b… Get resources now: nationalchildrensalliance.org/iyb

@bikewalkperth Yep - Switched out around Feb after the no cycling signs were put in.

New signs on the EQ bridge? I thought they previously said no cycling?

New article - We examined the effects of a community-based therapy service using a hybrid TF-CBT approach with additional therapeutic elements for a population with multiple and complex trauma symptoms. Eligible children improved on most scales. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@bikewalkperth Right turn from King st on to Roe st is also kind of dodgy without a turn light or a marked turn lane - you need to stare down a car turning right in the opposite direction to make sure they don't turn wide.

Some issues with the newly opened Roe St. On Friday evening I saw many drivers waiting to get into the COP car park, queuing in the bike lane rather than the traffic lane. Also seeing a number of drivers using the bike lane to drop off passengers at various locations.

@bikewalkperth I note they didn't mention having to cross six lanes with heavy trucks at Tydeman.

Everything is just GREAT! (Except for the fact that riding participation is the worst in the history of Perth!) Cringeworthy video on the ‘Building for Tomorrow’ FB page.

This is a great opportunity with the lovely @Dr_MM_Fernando and @herbiejl — a project-based PhD in #familylaw which seeks to improve supervised contact processes for separated Australian families. Fully funded and scholarship of $32,500 p/a. Applications close 28 May. #auslaw

In our new book on new CAC practices - Great chapter about the Jerusalem Child Advocacy Centre and how they create a culturally safe environment for the ultra-Orthodox community, and build their confidence in reporting abuse bit.ly/42XygAO

@CamilleLW Thanks Camille! I've cited your new paper a bunch on some gov work I've been doing on specialist CSA services!

@herbiejl Congratulations James and colleagues- this looks fantastic AND very relevant and helpful for our own research here in Scotland. Can't wait to get a chance to properly read

Thanks to our brilliant contributors the dream of an internationally focused book on new research and practices in CACs has been realised. I'll be tweeting out chapter summaries (to my admittedly small audience of followers) heading towards release date (19th April).

@HigginsDaryl Thanks Daryl! Super concerning given the lack of capacity to detect and respond to HSB (across the spectrum of behaviours) in some jurisdictions.

@herbiejl Hi James, unfortunately no. That was one of the few stats that wasn't in the MJA articles or supplementary material, it is in a forthcoming paper. However, given it was presented in a public forum, you can cite Ben's oration for now.

Who inflicts child sexual abuse? #acms

Essential reading from @caitecassidy on the absolute mess created by previous Governments and existing Vice Chancellors. There are solutions to be found in IR laws, funding models and governance. theguardian.com/australia-news…
