This report takes a systems-based approach to child protection, by examining the factors that facilitate a shift across organisational and child protection systems towards the prevention of child abuse and neglect. One of the essential components of such a radical shift is collaboration across professions, sectors and levels of government to deliver the best outcomes for children. The report considers best practice examples from Britain, the United States and Australia (Victoria). It identifies four key elements required to move the system to a more preventive focus: articulation of a shared vision; building a supportive culture; integrated governance arrangements; legislative support.
