ABSTRACT

Concern exists that the growing over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in out-of-home care (OOHC) across Australia is perpetuating historical, discriminatory child removal policies and practices. The disproportionate number of Indigenous children in OOHC is increasing at the same time as growing multi-jurisdictional policy and legal mandate for Indigenous self-determination, leadership, and cultural connectedness in the OOHC space. This study aims to provide evidence and instruction to social work educators, policymakers and practitioners in Australia’s complex child protection, wellbeing, and justice systems about why and how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-controlled organizations are best placed to lead OOHC service delivery for Indigenous children, their family and community. The qualitative research, located in Queensland, engages the knowledge and experience of Elders, Indigenous child safety professionals and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young adults who have recently exited OOHC to explore the importance of Indigenous-led OOHC service provision for generating genuine, intergenerational systemic change. Ten themes or authoritative Directives to non-Indigenous stakeholders are elicited and discussed. The paper concludes with three recommendations that press for a shift in the Western values and practices that underscore the monitoring and evaluation of Indigenous-led OOHC service providers by government.

土著服务引领土著和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童的户外护理

摘要

令人担忧的是,澳大利亚各地的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童和年轻人在户外护理 (OOHC) 中的人数越来越多,这正在延续历史性的、歧视性的儿童遣返政策和做法。随着 OOHC 空间中土著自决、领导和文化联系的多辖区政策和法律授权不断增加,OOHC 中不成比例的土著儿童人数也在增加。本研究旨在为澳大利亚复杂的儿童保护、福祉和司法系统中的社会工作教育者、政策制定者和从业者提供证据和指导,说明原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民控制的组织为何以及如何最适合为原住民儿童提供 OOHC 服务,他们的家庭和社区。位于昆士兰州的定性研究利用了长者、土著儿童安全专业人员以及最近退出 OOHC 的土著和托雷斯海峡岛民年轻人的知识和经验,以探索土著主导的 OOHC 服务提供对于产生真正的、代际系统的重要性改变。引出并讨论了针对非土著利益相关者的十个主题或权威指令。本文最后提出了三项建议,要求转变西方价值观和做法,强调政府对土著主导的 OOHC 服务提供商的监督和评估。最近退出 OOHC 的土著儿童安全专家以及土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的年轻人探索以土著为主导的 OOHC 服务对于产生真正的代际系统变革的重要性。引出并讨论了针对非土著利益相关者的十个主题或权威指令。本文最后提出了三项建议,要求转变西方价值观和做法,强调政府对土著主导的 OOHC 服务提供商的监督和评估。最近退出 OOHC 的土著儿童安全专家以及土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的年轻人探索以土著为主导的 OOHC 服务对于产生真正的代际系统变革的重要性。引出并讨论了针对非土著利益相关者的十个主题或权威指令。本文最后提出了三项建议,要求转变西方价值观和做法,强调政府对土著主导的 OOHC 服务提供商的监督和评估。
