The Department records reports of concern for a child based on the nature of the reported concern, such as sexual, physical or psychological abuse, or neglect.
Information about underlying issues, such as the presence of family and domestic violence, are collected as part of the child protection investigation, however child protection reports are not reported on that basis.
The Safe at Home and Domestic Violence Outreach Programs commenced in July 2010 and client data from the non government service providers is not yet available.
