Refugee Participation in South Australian Child Protection Research: Power, Voice, and Representation

University of South Australia

Very little is known about the refugee parenting experience during pre-resettlement contexts. The research results presented in this article are part of a larger study informing why refugee families are presenting within the South Australian system of child protection. This research developed an ecological framework with added actions for coding of transcript data which provided an analytical framework to unpack and examine overarching themes regarding cultural beliefs and values held by refugee participants on the parenting process. Outcomes of this research provide insights into the need for the development of appropriate and relevant policy, services, and practice in the area of child protection for South Australian resettlement agencies. Additional outcomes point toward a need to create an international forum, which include the UNHCR and UNICEF, to discuss the impact of refugee flight and migration on parenting, resettlement, and child welfare
