Abstract

Children and young people in residential care continue to experience significant harmful sexual behaviour, dating violence and child sexual exploitation. Power to Kids is a programme developed in Australia to prevent and respond to these forms of abuse for this cohort. The aim of the study was to explore how a Communities of Practice initiative could further support the implementation of the Power to Kids programme in the residential care practice of a community service organisation. Qualitative data were collected through feedback loops (n = 12) with residential carers and senior staff and focus groups (n = 4). Quantitative data were collected through two surveys (n = 89) and (n = 46). The data revealed inductively the EMBED model: Executive commitment to Communities of Practice, Members of Communities of Practice engage with content, Becoming part of everyday practice, Enhanced knowledge of sexual health and safety and Decline in going missing and better relationships. Findings suggest that a Community of Practice approach to implementing Power to Kids is promising in embedding the sexual health and safety programme.

社区实践支持实施权力的儿童在住宿照顾：嵌入模型

寄宿照料中的儿童和青年继续遭受严重的有害性行为、约会暴力和儿童性剥削。“孩子的力量”是一个在澳大利亚开发的项目，旨在为这一群体预防和应对这些形式的虐待。研究的目的是探讨社区实践倡议如何进一步支持社区服务机构在住宿护理实践中实施“儿童力量”计划。通过反馈回路（n = 12）和焦点小组（n = 4）收集定性数据。通过两次调查（n = 89）和（n = 46）收集定量资料。数据归纳地揭示了嵌入模型：执行对实践社区的承诺，实践社区的成员参与内容，成为日常实践的一部分，增强性健康和安全性知识，减少失踪和改善关系。调查结果表明，以实践共同体的方式实施“赋予儿童权力”，有望将性健康和安全方案纳入其中。
