The Guest Editors of the prior Indigenous-themed issue in 2022 reconvened: Bindi Bennett, a Gamilaraay woman on Jinibara Country, Jennie Briese, a Giabal woman on Jagera and Turrbal Country (Meanjin), and three non-Indigenous editors, Susan Gair (working on Wulgurukaba and Bindal country), and Sue Gillieatt (on Wadjuk Noongar Boodja), with Fiona McDermott (on Wurundjeri land) as an advisor. At first, there was talk about whether there would be enough interest and whether the requisite number of authors and articles would emerge. However, it was clear very quickly that there was a high level of interest and although the Aboriginal Guest Editors were confident that quality and numbers were never the issue, worries about entrenched lack of opportunity due to the education disparity and other significant hurdles like systemic racism and western academic systems were real concerns. Both of these landmark Issues in 2022 and 2023 are about finally ensuring that Aboriginal scholars had active, vocal roles in the governance of issues that focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These roles meant visioning who might contribute, ensuring the independent review of all articles, reviewing all articles to assess fit, offering mentoring and supporting those authors who wanted or needed it, and meeting regularly to discuss progress. Not only was the review and editing work a challenge in terms of workload, but it was also a challenge to ensure the Journal process was culturally responsive. Cultural responsiveness is the ability to “learn from and relate respectfully to people from our own and other cultures. It requires openness to experience and thinking about things from other people’s points of view” (Bennett & Bodkin-Andrews, 2021, p. 11). Cultural responsiveness meant the team had to be prepared to work in different ways. For example, we reached out to the Journal’s publisher, Taylor and Francis, in the United Kingdom, whose Journal Editorial Office (JEO) checks articles against Journal guidelines. We were keen to upskill Taylor and Francis about Indigenous Acknowledgements, and we created individualised emails to respond to authors, reaching out to them to offer mentoring, while at the same time honouring and respecting all Aboriginal peoples in this process. We did not always get it right. In fact, the first time an article was submitted online via ScholarOne, it was unsubmitted due to the authors’ positioning themselves and Acknowledging Country, which was not on the Journal’s checklist.

{"title":"Barriers Preventing Indigenous Women with Violence-related Head Injuries from Accessing Services in Australia","authors":"M. Fitts, J. Cullen, J. Barney","doi":"10.1080/0312407X.2023.2210115","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0312407X.2023.2210115","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious yet commonly under-recognised injury sustained by women as a direct outcome of family violence. Although healthcare and support services are critical, many women do not access support services following this injury. At present, there are few relevant qualitative studies that have elevated the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. This article describes the barriers that prevent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women from accessing hospital and support services after experiencing a TBI from family violence in one regional (Queensland) and one remote location (Northern Territory). Interviews and focus-group discussions were conducted with 28 community members and 90 service professionals. Thematic analysis identified four key factors influencing women’s access to health care: all women fear child removal; fear of escalating violence; prioritisation of other competing demands; and insufficient awareness of the signs of brain injury. Given child protection systems perpetuate cycles of discrimination based on poverty and structural inequalities that have generated fear and contributed to the reluctance of women to engage with services, child protection processes and practices need to be transformed to consider the impact of head injury on the everyday lives of women. Pathways need to be implemented to assist women to access healthcare and support services as well as strengthen families to maintain the care of their children. Content warning: This article includes distressing information and may trigger trauma, especially for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. IMPLICATIONS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women living with a head injury experience severe trauma, coercive control, disadvantage, and poverty, which prevents them from accessing healthcare and support services. Communities should be resourced to design, implement, and evaluate TBI prevention and intervention solutions as increased awareness and insight into the long-term consequences for the brain that can result from violence, including education for school-aged children, community campaigns, and targeted education for community members. TBI should be incorporated into child protection frameworks, workforce training, and assessment tools, along with training and education for community members.","PeriodicalId":47275,"journal":{"name":"Australian Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42669171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Walter","doi":"10.1080/0312407X.2023.2186256","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0312407X.2023.2186256","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT In this article we argue that in Australian social work context and practice, Indigenous Data Sovereignty (ID-SOV) needs to be operationalised by enacting the principles of Indigenous Data Governance (ID-GOV). Failure to embed ID-SOV and ID-GOV leaves the profession open to claims that it is complicit in disempowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in relation to data. ID-SOV is a global movement focused on Indigenous Peoples having access to, and ownership, control, and possession of, their data. Social work is a profession committed to championing equal rights and challenging injustices. Therefore, it has an obligation to decolonise existing data structures in its workplaces. This article outlines the Australian ID-SOV movement, including current scholarship on operationalising ID-SOV in the form of ID-GOV, and the challenge for social work to position itself in alliance with the ID-SOV movement and in active participation in changing the way Indigenous data have traditionally been collected and used in Australia IMPLICATIONS The Indigenous Data Sovereignty (ID-SOV) movement demands the data rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and is re-shaping the Australian data landscape. If social work is true to its stated commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination, the profession needs to engage with ID-SOV and work to operationalise Indigenous Data Governance (ID-GOV) across social work environments. A particular focus of this article is the importance of ID-SOV and ID-GOV being operationalised within social work research and policy in areas such as “child protection”, the criminal justice system, health and wellbeing, and housing.","PeriodicalId":47275,"journal":{"name":"Australian Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44716301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"First Nations Children and Families and Permanency Planning Reform: The Evidence Counts","authors":"W. Hermeston","doi":"10.1080/0312407X.2023.2207559","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0312407X.2023.2207559","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Major permanency planning-based reforms transformed the New South Wales (NSW) out-of-home care (care) system between 2012 and 2022, in the face of strong, sustained opposition from First Peoples. Permanency, attachment and related notions, including the best interests of the child are all constructs central to permanency planning and crucial factors in judicial decision-making about children’s permanent care arrangements. Doctoral research conducted by the author, a Wiradjuri legal scholar, explored Aboriginal community member understandings of these concepts. With a focus on restoration, this article provides a critical commentary on aspects of the legislative changes implemented in NSW. Outlining literature relating to the reforms, the author notes the substantial lack of evidence from First Nations’ perspectives in support of the legislative changes made. Implications for both First Peoples and for social work are discussed. The article seeks to prompt reflection by social workers on how such evidence vacuums can cause harm to First Nations children and young people in statutory care. Social work spheres within child welfare and associated scholarship must centre First Peoples’ knowledge and experiences. If not, crucial conceptual and practice-related issues will remain poorly understood and profound child welfare system-related trauma caused to First Nations children and families will be perpetuated. IMPLICATIONS System reform relating to permanent care arrangements of First Nations children and young people must be grounded in First Nations-led evidence, including on permanency and attachment, and it must centre First Peoples’ perspectives and lived experience. Understanding and taking into account the perspectives of First Peoples is an important action social workers and other practitioners from non-Indigenous backgrounds must take in supporting First Nations children and families involved in care matters. Hence, there is a need for critical reflection in the social work sphere, about how child protection policies and legislation may benefit, or create harm to, First Nations communities. Advocacy for systems change is an important action social workers can take, when governments propose policies that First Peoples view as detrimental to support the long-term wellbeing of First Nations children.","PeriodicalId":47275,"journal":{"name":"Australian Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48797364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This worldview is important considering that Australian social work literature is historically informed by white western thought. This white lens has obstructed the self-determination of Aboriginal social workers and their communities. We came together as Aboriginal social workers and non-Aboriginal allies. Our authorship engaged dialogue and Dadirri (deep listening) with one another in reciprocal relationships. We thematically analysed, reordered, and preserved our Yarn in written text. Yarning with the use of Dadirri respected oral traditions of knowledge sharing and, in itself, was a decolonising act. Our aim to document Aboriginal knowledge and experience as social workers through Yarning, involved truth-telling about social work, social work learning, expertise, and practice. IMPLICATIONS A priority for decolonisation in social work is to value Yarning as a significant feature of knowledge sharing and a legitimate form of authorship. Decolonising social work requires things to be done differently, e.g., prioritising Indigenous social workers in developing frameworks for education and practice, and leading the implementation of these frameworks.","PeriodicalId":47275,"journal":{"name":"Australian Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43092620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
