Australian Centre for Child Protection

Being able to look at the bigger picture to see patterns and problems – and help find solutions – is why longitudinal data research is so important.

Dr Miriam Maclean is a Research Fellow whose current focus is developmental outcomes among children involved in the child protection system. She uses linked data from Government departments for Child Protection, Health, Corrective Services and Education across several Australian states to examine the outcomes and trajectories of maltreated children.

She is one of the speakers in our webinar on Empowering Young People’s Lives Beyond Out-of-Home-Care (OOHC) coming up on Wednesday, July 23, and will talk about the developmental pathways of children who have experienced OOHC, from pre-birth influences through to adulthood.
