Abstract

This study will systematically locate and review research that studies parental physical violence interventions that are conducted in non-institutional settings by statutory child protection services (provided by public authority), or in non-statutory (e.g., non-governmental organisations) child protection services provided on behalf of, or purchased by, or in co-operation with, public authorities with statutory child protection responsibilities. Main question: How have statutory child protection services responded to parental physical violence against children, and how has this changed between 1990 and 2021? This includes: (I) What are the intended outcomes of the statutory child protection service interventions to parental physical violence against children? (E.g. Change in levels of violence, parent-to-child communication skills, child or parent wellbeing.) (II) What are the theoretical assumptions underpinning these interventions? (E.g. How is physical violence/abuse defined, perceived, and/or approached? Are the interventions targeting physical violence alone or as a part of a cluster of problems?) (III) What are the statutory bases for interventions that address parental violence against children? (E.g. Are they based on civil law and/or criminal law)
