Insight for 21 June 2015 - Child Abuse or Big Brother ?
BODY:
Teresa Cowie explores profiling for potential child harm
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand is leading the world with ground breaking research that uses government-held data to try and stop child abuse before it happens.
But an Insight investigation has found this form of profiling is also raising questions about some of the things people hold most dear: their children and their privacy and of unintended consequences.
We consider the key questions below.
Listen to Insight: Child Abuse or Big Brother?
In 2012, as part of its crusade against child abuse and following recommendations from the White Paper for Vulnerable Children, the National government commissioned Auckland University to undertake groundbreaking research to try to find out if information it holds about citizens could be used to predict whether a children might be abused or neglected.
The initial research, done by Professor Rhema Vaithianathan, is being closely followed by international researchers. The idea of profiling, or Predictive Risk Modelling, is not new. But basing the model on information held by the government in order to predict child maltreatment is.
The latest research suggests it is fairly accurate. Of the top 1 percent of children it predicted to be at high risk, 42.2 percent were found to have have been maltreated by the age of 5.
But opponents say that's not accurate enough and families will be harmed if they are identified incorrectly.
Patrick Kelly is a paediatrician and the clinical director of Auckland Hospital's child abuse unit. He is involved with police on a daily basis trying to make collaborative decisions about what risk a child might be in.
I am well aware of the deficiencies in risk assessment and I think that if you are going to introduce a tool like this based on population data into front line practice there's a real, serious risk of unintended consequences."

The likelihood of beneficiaries being singled out is a worry for advocate, Kay Brereton, who believes such profiling would stigmatise beneficiaries as child abusers.
She said there is more data held on beneficiaries because they use more social services and that means they are more likely to be picked up by the system.
The Head of Philosophy at Auckland University, Tim Dare, did an ethics review of the research and he said it could stigmatise Māori too, but he thinks the stigma could be minimised if it's handled properly.
THE KEY QUESTIONS
How would the profiling work?
There isn't a set system yet because it is still being decided if or how it would be used. But in the latest research the Ministry of Social Development used 13 indicators or pieces of information about a child's family to work out what it calls a 'risk score' of 1 to10. Those with a score of 1 were at less risk of abuse, those with a score of 10 were more likely to be harmed.
What government information would it use?
So far the researchers have used benefit data, from all the forms and information people hand over when they get support or services from Work and Income. They also look at Department of Corrections data to see if you've been in prison, medical records and Child, Youth and Family files to see if any of the parents of other children have been in care, or if the parents themselves have been in care, as well as Births, Deaths and Marriages information.
What information about me that the government holds could 'red-flag' me as a potential child abuser?
Here's the full list of indicators from the Ministry of Social Development's most recently published research:

Child, Youth and Family site
43 Child, Youth and Family sites

Notes:
1 - The child is a multiple birth child, there are three or more other children in the family, or one or more other child aged under 3 years in the family.
2 - Based on incapacity codes recorded for caregivers who had received incapacity-related benefits.
3 - Based on substantiated findings recorded for the parent or caregiver in Child Youth and Family data.
Could the government use it to take my children off me, before I've even done anything?
No, the Ministry of Social Development says it would only be used to help families with a high risk score by giving extra help and social services. It says it would be completely up to the family to decide if they want to get involved and take that extra help.
What sort of help would a family be given?
The Ministry is still trying to figure out how social workers might use it to help high risk families. It is running some trials at the moment and will be reporting back the results at the end of the year.
Would the score replace a social workers judgment of how a family is doing?
The Ministry says no, it wouldn't. It says social workers look at the whole picture and the profiling model is only limited to the data that is held. Also, people's family situations are changing all the time and social workers can get the best and most up to date understanding of any potential risks.

I just love helping people and that’s why I set up the Koha Shed.

– Josie Lancaster
A Koha Shed is a kind of op shop where everything is free and no money is involved. Of course, the Koha Sheds have sprung up out of severe need in these hard times. Koha Sheds have generated good will and trust in the community – those receiving also give when they can, so the system is not exploited.

The Koha Shed's always overflowing storage area.
Josie’s Koha Shed in Ascot Park is one of a growing network in the Porirua region. People bring all manner of goods to the shed – clothes, toys, books, furniture, the list is long – to help those in need in the community.

People meet and chat as well give and receive.
Of course, the shed is a boon for beneficiaries and the low-paid. But people show up in Josie’s basement for all kinds of reasons. A teenage girl sifts through the clothes hangers, she’s had her luggage stolen while bussing down from Hamilton and has no money to buy new clothes.

This teenager had her luggage stolen and is looking for things to ward off the winter chills.

She's grateful for this boxful of pre-loved clothes to replace her stolen wardrobe.

Eileen Merriman and Nod Ghosh
National Flash Fiction Day is a celebration of extremely short fiction (works consisting of 1000 words or less), and this year micro fiction—works consisting of a word count of 100 words or less, puts writers through their paces in a category called ‘Micro Madness,’ run by writers Eileen Merrimen and Nod Ghosh.
Shoulder tapped by the founder of National Flash Fiction Day Michelle Elvy, the two women say that the micro series has given writers the opportunity to put their skills to the test and produce some extraordinary work.
Ghosh says they had a list of criteria for which to judge the 145 submissions from around the country. The chosen pieces would then be published on the NFF website, with a new one featured each day.
Both women agree that there were pieces that grabbed them straight away, as well as a number of writers who submitted more than one piece of writing, but who could only be featured on the website once.
“We set about designing a scoring system at first [for instance ; how attention grabbing it was, originality of the story and characterisation, consistency of point of view, imagery…There were some mighty fine writers,” says Ghosh and she cites that the best pieces of work immediately created an atmosphere and mood.
“ If it’s done well it can be extremely beautiful,” says Merriman, a Doctor by day and avid writer by night. Like Nod, she completed a writing course many years ago. Both writers have been published and believe that it is the distilled essence of the writing that can makes a piece worthy of publication.
U.S born, now Wellington-based Sally Houtman has been published numerous times in NZ journal “Flash Frontier” and has a natural ability to bring her reader directly into a time and place, of which she says: “the descriptions end up telling the story.”
Her story ‘At Barrett Reef’ was inspired by the Wahine disaster and the idea of what it means to return to a place of tragedy. In the story she quickly establishes two characters and their relationship to one another and the mood that belies their connection is as dark as the disaster itself.
She adds that when dealing with a real event or history that one has to be very careful and respectful, so as not to become trite or glib. She has a strong connection to her internal, emotional world which shows in her work. A point of difference for her as a writer that as someone who is also legally blind, she claims she makes full use of her imagination to bring these characters and their worlds to life. “I don’t want to write what’s too easy. I don’t want to write what everybody else writes, I don’t want to write what everybody else sees. I want you to know what I experience, or what the character I created experiences.”
Having worked in addiction services for 21 years in the United States, Houtman has come to writing late in her life. But asked whether she draws some of her ability and emotional intensity from that experience, she says: “It was always in me, [that] ability to piece together those voices and snippets of what people are saying, and trying to make meaning out it.”
More information can be found on the National Flash Fiction day website.

12:47 Arts Attitudes
Creative New Zealand's released the results of its three-yearly survey into New Zealanders' attitudes, attendance and participation in the arts in 2014. Nine out of ten Kiwis have either attended or participated in at least one arts event in the past 12 months - the highest level of engagement since the surveys began in 2005.
But in Christchurch, despite a lot of lobbying and a lot of art being produced, fewer people there now believe art has a vital role in the city's post-earthquake rebuild.
CEO Stephen Wainwright explains how the questions were framed, because that plays a big part in how people answer, and what he hopes will come of the survey.

2:38 The Invisible Mile
Competitive team cycling and warfare are inextricably linked in David Coventry's debut novel, The Invisible Mile, set during the 1928 Tour de France. This was the first time an English-speaking team had taken part in the gruelling competition, and it was made up of New Zealanders and Australians.There were no lightweight super-fast bikes back then. They competed on heavy fixed-wheel bikes with temperamental brakes and no lights.

David Coventry's novel The Invisible Mile is published by Victoria University Press.

Album: A Nite at the Hi Diddle Griddle
Label; Stebbing 1003 CD Recorded 1959 3'02"
From Chris Bourke' "Blue Smoke'
The Hi Diddle Griddle was once considered Auckland's "plushest nightclub". Opened in 1952, it introduced an alternative for cosmopolitan adults: a restaurant with live music. The owner was a man-about-town called Jim Jennings who had an obscure background: some thought he was an American expatriate, a South Pacific beachcomber who had 'washed ashore' after the war. Billy Farnell was certain he was from Tauranga. But he knew how to set up a room with class. Situated at 507 ('food from heaven') Karangahape Road, hospitality pioneer Otto Groen could be seen cooking in the window; chicken-in-a-basket made a change from colonial goose. On the dimly lit walls inside were black velvet murals of Polynesian maidens and a mythical Pacific, painted by Kristen Zambucka. The Hi Diddle Griddle had no dance floor and a tiny stage that showcased small combos led by Lew Campbell, Crombie Murdoch and Nancy Harrie. It would open late, and close even later - sometimes 4.00 am - and visiting musicians such as Nat King Cole might drop in. Late in the 1950s, Paul Lestre - a reed player and violinist from the East End of London - began a residency that led to the 1959 album A Night at the Hi Diddle Griddle, with pianist Lyall Laurent, bassist Bob Ofsoski and the city's leading jazz guitarist, Ray Gunter. The Hi Diddle Griddle inspired many other venues offering food garnished with music.

In a world dominated by religion, faith and hierarchy where the church's influence covers every aspect of how we 'hear' and shape the immediate world around us (3 of 6, BBC)
