Parent profile reports

Characteristics of parents involved in the Queensland child protection system is a series of reports building a picture of the families we work with.

Report 1: Demographic profile (PDF 235 KB) details the types of households, Indigenous as well as young parent households, the types of harm that occur and households where a child was assessed as being in need of protection.

Report 2: Parental risk factors for abuse and neglect (PDF 346 KB) focuses on parental risk factors such as domestic violence, alcohol or drug problems and mental illness.

Report 3: History of contact with the Department (PDF 399 KB) examines the characteristics of households that have previously been involved in ongoing departmental intervention.

Report 4: Households with high needs children (PDF 554 KB) focuses on five child characteristics including: significant developmental or physical disability, medically fragile/failure to thrive, positive toxicology screen at birth, offending history and mental health/behavioural problem.
