“…For further studies in future, the opinions of the old customers should be taken into consideration. Models to Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey Data (Broadhurst, Holt, & Doherty, 2012) should be used to examine the customer satisfaction related to service provided by travel agents in Punjab. There should be follow up study once a year to understand and improve the service quality of travel agents (Olorunniwo & Hsu, 2006).…”

“…Expressions of empowerment and efficacy include: involvement in services pertaining to parenting, ability to recognise the need for and mobilise services, and the capacity to engage collaboratively with service providers in setting goals and decision‐making (Freiberg et al ., ). Importantly, collaboratively involving parents in decision‐making can positively impact the degree to which vulnerable families engage with treatment and, as a consequence, the long‐term outcomes for families (Broadhurst et al ., ).…”

“…In particular, the families' capacity to engage with formal and informal help – prior to scrutiny from child protection systems – is crucial. Voluntary help‐seeking is more conducive for cooperative working relationships with parents and less resistance (Broadhurst et al ., ). In addition, formal and informal help‐seeking by substance‐misusing parents may reduce the likelihood of losing custody of their children (Canfield et al ., ).…”

“…Yet, longitudinal studies suggest that substance misusers may delay help‐seeking until ‘problem severity has reached a critical threshold’ (Grella and Stein, , p. 153). By the time that families become known to the child protection system, children are likely to have been exposed to a number of adverse experiences due to accumulating and co‐occurring risks, thereby increasing the odds for more intensive services or intrusive pathways such as out‐of‐home care (Broadhurst et al ., ; Canfield et al ., ).…”

Formal and Informal Help‐Seeking by Australian Parents who Misuse Alcohol

Parental substance misuse has a pervasive impact on family functioning, parenting, and, ultimately, child wellbeing and development. Subsequently, linkages with informal and formal support networks are crucial for ameliorating risk. To facilitate engagement with these families prior to identification in child protection systems, it is vital to understand the factors inhibiting and promoting engagement with informal and formal support. This paper examines how different factors influence informal and formal help‐seeking by alcohol‐misusing parents with regard to parenting and family concerns. Parents reporting alcohol problems in a clinical range (n = 322) were drawn from a representative parent sample (n = 1991). Alcohol‐misusing parents reported low help‐seeking for parenting‐focused support services. The findings particularly highlight the role of age, education, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, parenting stress, empowerment and trust in support services for predicting parents' help‐seeking.

“…Examples of alternate pathways that seek to avoid court orders and/or child removal include: family group conferencing in New Zealand (Harris, 2008); the use of differential response in many parts of the USA (Merkel-Holguin et al, 2015); the requirement for preproceedings work under the Public Law Outline in the UK (Broadhurst, Holt & Doherty, 2012); the use of alternative dispute resolution initiatives in order to avoid the need for a trial or hearing in the Children's Court in New South Wales, Australia (Morgan, Boxall, al., 2015). This variability highlights the importance of child protection research that takes into account the local context.…”

Collaborative practice in statutory in child protection practice: Parental agreements and procedural justice

Internationally, there is a growing trend to introduce alternative pathways for children and their families involved with statutory child protection systems. These alternatives focus on developing partnerships with families in order to promote children's safety and well-being within their homes. The form that alternative pathways take varies by jurisdiction.In Queensland (Australia), where this study takes place, the State Government has identified the use of parental agreements to be the least intrusive option available to the child protection authority when a child has been substantiated, via a full investigation, as in need of protection. These agreements are known as 'Intervention with Parental Agreement' (IPA) and allow for the statutory authority to work in partnership with families to address child protection concerns, without the use of a court order. Little is known about how IPA occurs and the extent to which its collaborative ethos is realised in practice.This study aims to provide a detailed understanding of collaborative practice in statutory child protection, using the example of IPA. The study has a key focus on procedural justice, that is the quality of treatment that people receive from an authority during decision-making processes (Tyler, 2006). Using a two-phase, qualitative methodology the study explores the perspectives of practitioners and parents involved in IPA practice.Phase one involved semi-structured interviews with 33 practitioners from the Queensland child protection authority, tertiary family support services and a service responsible for providing cultural guidance in cases that involve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. Phase two of the study involved semi-structured interviews with four parents. The interviews captured their unique experience of being subject to IPA, with a focus on their procedural justice judgements.The findings of the study indicate that the crisis-driven nature of statutory child protection in conjunction with the dominance of a risk-adverse culture is perceived by practitioners to be a barrier to collaborative practice. However, the local office culture within branch offices of the child protection authority and relationship-driven models of practice were found to facilitate collaboration in IPA practice.In particular, the nature and quality of three key partnerships of practice was found to shape how IPA practice occurred. These partnerships are: intra-agency partnerships, particularly those between statutory officers at the branch office level; inter-agency 2 partnerships; and those between practitioners and parents. The findings highlight that each of these partnerships are characterised by hierarchical relationships between the different stakeholders. Within all three of these partnerships, procedural justice emerged as an important factor for facilitating positive and collaborative working partnerships. This demonstrated that procedurally fair treatment is important to both parents and practitioners during IPA practice.All of the p...
