Subject:Post re unborn child protection alerts, legislation, services for at-risk pregnant women please

Hi all, My name is Rosemaria Flaherty and I am currently undertaking my PhD project at the Australian Centre for Child Protection, University of South Australia, Australia. My PhD topic explores the role of service practitioners, prenatal reporting to child protection agencies and the unborn-child-protection-alert in connecting at-risk pregnant women (women who experience domestic and family violence, unmanaged mental illness, substance abuse etc.) to support services prior to the birth of their baby. I am seeking articles and reports (grey literature and peer reviewed journals/papers) that: - Discuss and/or evaluate the efficacy of the unborn child high risk birth alert as a tool to protect fetuses and improve support to at-risk pregnant women. - Explore the experience of service practitioners providing services to at-risk pregnant women (where there are identified unborn child protection concerns). - Identify programs, service models, or theories of change for prenatal service provision to at-risk pregnant women (where there are identified unborn child protection concerns). I am also seeking titles of legislation (in countries outside of Australia) that make provision for a prenatal report to be made to a statutory child protection agency. Please feel free to respond to me directly at rosemaria.flaherty@mymail.unisa.edu.au Best wishes, Rosemaria ________________________________ This message is intended for the addressee(s) named and may contain confidential information.
