Description

Enduring safety from family violence in and beyond family court litigation. Our study seeks to examine modifiable family and service systems factors associated with long term safety of parents and children at risk of domestic and family violence (DFV) during and beyond involvement in family court litigation. To our existing substantive multi-informant data, and supported by established ethics and consent agreements, we will add a comprehensive third year follow up with parent cohorts, and examine the interaction of family and system responses over time. Well translated findings would aid court and allied services in optimising safety enhancing actions for lasting outcomes. This project furthers our national partnership research and may narrow the global evidence-to-action gap in reducing DFV likelihood and harms.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4804 - Law In Context. Lead: Prof Jennifer McIntosh
