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: https://t.co/kupAS9pcPH #ChildAbuse #neglect

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

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.

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.

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

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. https://t.co/tIuZZBk1ad

@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.

[James Herbert @herbiejl]

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

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 https://t.co/she2QxbCLM

[James Herbert @herbiejl]

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

[James Herbert @herbiejl]

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).

[James Herbert @herbiejl]

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

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. https://t.co/XqPdkA0iUB
