This book provides the first comprehensive international coverage
of key issues in mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect.
The book draws on a collection of the foremost scholars in the
field, as well as clinicians and practice-based experts, to explore
the nature, history, impact and justifiability of mandatory
reporting laws, their optimal form, legal and conceptual issues,
and practical issues and challenges for reporters, professional
educators and governments. Key issues in non-Western nations are
also explored briefly to assess the potential of socio-legal
responses sex trafficking, forced child labour and child marriage.
The book is of particular value to policy makers, educators and
opinion leaders in government departments dealing with children,
and to professionals and organisations who work with children. It
is also intended to be a key authority for researchers and teachers
in the fields of medicine, nursing, social work, education, law,
psychology, health and allied health fields.
This book offers a timely and detailed exploration and analysis of
key contemporary issues and challenges in child sexual abuse, which
holds great relevance for scholarly, legal, policy, professional
and clinical audiences worldwide. The book draws together the best
current evidence about the nature, aetiology, contexts, and
sequelae of child sexual abuse. It explores the optimal definition
of child sexual abuse, considers sexual abuse in history, and
explores new theoretical understandings of children's rights and
other key theories including public health and the Capabilities
Approach, and their relevance to child sexual abuse prevention and
responses. It examines a selection of the most pressing legal,
theoretical, policy and practical challenges in child sexual abuse
in the modern world, in developed and developing economies,
including institutional child sexual abuse, female genital cutting,
child marriage, the use of technology for sexual abuse, and the
ethical responsibility and legal liability of major state and
religious organisations, and individuals. It examines recent
landmark legal and policy developments in all of these areas,
drawing in particular on extensive developments from Australia in
the wake of its Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse. It also considers the best evidence about
promising strategies and future promising directions in enhancing
effective prevention, intervention and responses to child sexual
abuse.

The legal environment in which schools operate and teachers work is
increasingly intrusive. There are more statutes, more cases, more
regulations, more departmental policies. The law is more complex
and compliance is more difficult. Breaches are more serious, more
heavily penalised and noisily publicised. In this book, Professor
Des Butler and Dr Ben Mathews analyse the major legal issues
confronting schools across Australia, and provide clear, accessible
statements of the current legal principles involved. They enable
readers to understand what the law is and how it is likely to apply
in particular situations. Each chapter covers both legislation
directly regulating schools, for example, the obligation on school
staff to report suspected child abuse and neglect, and general
statutes that apply in educational contexts such as discrimination
laws. They also analyse the growing body of case law relating to
incidents at schools or involving schools. The book uses an
accessible, reader friendly style making it suitable for teachers,
policy makers and the wider school community as well as legal
practitioners.
