A report that shows statistical evidence of the link between child abuse, neglect, homelessness and juvenile justice supervision has just been released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The 46-page report, Children and young people at risk of social exclusion: Links between homelessness, child protection and juvenile justice, found evidence to support the fact that young people in one of three areas (Supported Accommodation Assistance Programs, juvenile justice supervision, and child protection) have an increased risk of being involved in the other two areas.
For further information, and to download the report, go to: http://www.aihw.gov.au/publication-detail/?id=60129542237 Printed copies of the report can also be purchased from the AIHW.
