Miss Lottie Harris

Lottie is undertaking a Doctorate of Philosophy as part of the Australian Child Maltreatment Study, the first Australian study of the prevalence of child maltreatment. Lottie's research focus is on the mental health impacts of child multi-type maltreatment, and the subsequent best-practice assessments and interventions for children and young people in out-of-home care. This research is expanding on Lottie's professional experience in child welfare, which includes both policy and research and direct practice in the homelessness and out-of-home care sectors within NSW non-government organisations.
