Hi JP and Nate
==New DOJ resources for child protection==
Does one of the editors want to check and then described and/or add this new [http://canada.justice.gc.ca/eng/fl-df/parent/pc-pe.html DOJ resource] somewhere on this page? --[[User:Nate Russell|Nate Russell]] ([[User talk:Nate Russell|talk]]) 17:16, 25 June 2013 (PDT)


I have made several substantive changes here that you will need to check, JP. Point #4 is for Nate.
==Resources==


1. '''Re the police responding to a 911 call about family violence''':
I have added some resources - I am afraid that the generic lists of resources at the bottom of this section may not get readers to core publications. . . and that would be a shame.
The text suggested that the abuser would be taken into custody "in all likelihood" . . . this seems to me to offer a scenario to abuse victims that, while it is based on the VAWIR policy, is in practical terms too optimistic. I changed the text to say police may arrest, may take into custody. See what you think. The same goes for describing what happens to the accused.


2. '''Re groups like Battered Women's Support Services''' - these days the go-to is VictimLink - I added a paragraph about that - standard VictimLink language.
1. Re calling police if you have suffered abuse, I added a reference to two LSS resources.


3. '''In terms of a "safe house'''" I have used current thinking and referred to developing a safety plan as well as to the possibility of leaving the home and going to a safe place. (A safety plan acknowledges that many women don't leave the first, second or third time . . .)
2. Re contacting groups like Battered Women's Support Services - these days the go-to is VictimLink. I added a paragraph about that - it's standard VictimLink language.


4. '''In terms of resources''', I took out the Dial-a-Law Dating Violence script (this section isn't about dating) and added the LSS family law website stuff on child protection (I think you get a much bigger bang for your buck having this resource in there). But the text does not seem to be fitting inside the text box - you can see the problem in View. (Hunted about to try to solve this but could not.)
3. At the end of the part on protection orders, I included a reference to the booklet, For Your Protection. (main ministry/lss book on the topic)


5. This is quite outside the realm of copy editing, but I found it odd that a chapter on Family Violence would start off with a discussion of tort law. . .  If I was doing a substantive edit, I would move up the call the police, call VictimLink to be the lead items, and move on from there.
4. At the end of child protection (end of copy) I made reference to an LSS publication, Parents' Rights, Kids' Rights.
 
6. In terms of ''Resources and links'', I took out the Dial-a-Law Dating Violence script (not relevant) and added the LSS family law website stuff on child protection. But the text does not seem to be fitting inside the text box - you can see the problem in View. (I hunted about to try to solve this but could not.)

New DOJ resources for child protection[edit]

Does one of the editors want to check and then described and/or add this new DOJ resource somewhere on this page? --Nate Russell (talk) 17:16, 25 June 2013 (PDT)

Resources[edit]

I have added some resources - I am afraid that the generic lists of resources at the bottom of this section may not get readers to core publications. . . and that would be a shame.

1. Re calling police if you have suffered abuse, I added a reference to two LSS resources.

2. Re contacting groups like Battered Women's Support Services - these days the go-to is VictimLink. I added a paragraph about that - it's standard VictimLink language.

3. At the end of the part on protection orders, I included a reference to the booklet, For Your Protection. (main ministry/lss book on the topic)

4. At the end of child protection (end of copy) I made reference to an LSS publication, Parents' Rights, Kids' Rights.

6. In terms of Resources and links, I took out the Dial-a-Law Dating Violence script (not relevant) and added the LSS family law website stuff on child protection. But the text does not seem to be fitting inside the text box - you can see the problem in View. (I hunted about to try to solve this but could not.) Gayla Reid (talk) 17:04, 30 April 2013 (PDT)

Subject matter expert[edit]

The portion about child protection could use a review by someone expert in the subject. JP Boyd (talk) 22:19, 20 May 2013 (PDT)

A person who is younger than the legal age of majority, 19 in British Columbia. See "age of majority."
