Intersections between child protection and criminal legal systems - understanding the unmet legal and other needs of criminalised women with child protection involvement
The Law and Advocacy Centre for Women, in partnership with Elizabeth Morgan House and researchers from the University of Melbourne, seek to identify barriers and legal needs of women in custody to maintain contact with their children where child protection is involved. The project addresses the gaps in knowledge and data relating to the unmet legal and support needs for women who are in the criminal justice system, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, and also have child protection involvement.
