maybe try the media, everytime there are issues in the media concerning child protection, people come out of the wood work, you may get a bias toward people who are disgruntled, but often people come forward to praise their experience etc with child protection.  students doing research work often advertise for participants via radio here in perth.  a small advert describing what they are studying and what they require from volunteers etc, this option could work

It is a difficult problem.  We had to go through therpaists in clinics
who put an announcment of their clients currently in treatment, and then 
we had to wait for the clients to czall us.  We only got seven responses 
that way.  There is no good way of reaching clients who have left
treatment.  You might try to develop a copperative relationship with
child protection workers who might be able to refer clients to you.
