Abstract
Clarifying and applying principles related to responsive regulation offers some new possibilities for reforming Australia’s struggling and unsustainable child protection systems at a time when the climate may be more conducive to change than in the past. However, there are two major challenges. One is the knowledge gap in relation to determining whether child protection policy based on responsive regulation delivers better outcomes for children. The other is the need to encompass within a responsive regulation framework population based preventive strategies that can reduce the risk factors associated with child abuse and neglect.
