CHILD RAPE & ABUSE
AUSTRALIA - ACTION AGAINST CHILD ABUSE

The Kids First Foundation is a relatively new children's charity that raises funds to provide services for abused, neglected and at-risk children nationally and integrate these services with an Australia-wide research and advocacy program.
The Foundation has organised a national seminar tour with Professor Richard Gelles on child abuse and family violence in June 2001.

Professor Gelles holds the Joanne and Raymond Welsh Chair of Child Welfare and Family Violence in the School of Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of 23 books and more than 100 articles and chapters on family violence. His latest books are The Book of David: How Preserving Families Can Cost Children's Lives (1996) and Intimate Violence in Families, Third Edition. Drawing on more than 20 years of international research, his workshop will provide a fascinating insight about best practice in cases of child abuse and family violence.

The one-day seminars will take place in Sydney (1 June, 2001), Melbourne (5 June, 2001), Hobart (8 June, 2001), Perth (12 June 2001), Brisbane (15 June 2001). The seminar costs $110 (GST inclusive) and includes lunch.
