The Research to Practice Series links the findings of research undertaken by the Institute of Child Protection Studies, Australian Catholic University, to the development of policy and practice in the area of child, youth and family welfare.

This release, Issue 13, presents the key findings from the ASK-YP Survey, an online survey of children and young people aged 10-18, which explored their perceptions of interpersonal safety in institutions. It focuses on what children and young people said they need, and how well they thought institutions are doing. Issue 14 provides further findings, exploring children and young people’s views about help-seeking and institutional responses to their safety concerns.
