| Summary: | This report is a review of the past 25 years of child abuse research and finds higher than average rates of child maltreatment and neglect associated with poverty. The report strongly identifies poverty as a key risk factor in child abuse and finds the government preoccupied with monitoring and reporting but neglectful in finding solutions to the issue. While the government seems genuinely committed to protecting children it is failing to address poverty as one of the key drivers of child maltreatment and neglect, despite many of its own reports over many years suggesting more action. |
