In this episode, we keep you informed by exploring an article by Bryce (2018), where she discusses child protection responses to cumulative harm. Bryce identifies that current child protection legislation in Australia is not adequate for responding to cumulative harm due to the focus on immediate harm caused by the abuse, rather than the long term impact which may not manifest for several years. Therefore Bryce argues there should be more of a child protection focus on family need and child well-being, rather than purely on the immediate risk to the child.

Assessing the ACEs score of children in schools, child protection or custody is extremely questionable and in this episode we outline our concerns about the misapplication of ACEs. Consider this episode - reverse implementation! A lesson when research SHOULD NOT be applied in practice!
