Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の目的は第一として事例に裁判記録を用いること、第二に裁判記録を用いて検証した結果から、今後の児童虐待に関わる専門職の職員研修にも生かすことができる裁判事例研究会を実施した。この方法論の提案は、児童虐待に関わる専門職の育成に大きな前進をもたらすものと考えられる。
本研究で提唱した2つの方法から得た研究成果は、裁判記録等を事例分析の対象とし、事例検討会を開いたことで、今後の児童虐待死防止に重要な知見を得ることができた。また、実践に活かせる方法を提示し、専門職としての質の向上につながり、虐待死予防のソーシャルワーク実践の発見と開発となるものであった。
