Profile

Judy Cashmore PhD M Ed AO is Professor of Social Legal Research and Policy at Sydney Law School, and Professorial Research Fellow in the Research Centre for Children and Families at the University of Sydney, Australia. Her research concerns children’s experience of and involvement in family law, child protection and criminal proceedings and other processes where decisions are made about their lives – and the implications for law, social policy and practice. In particular, the focus has been on the experience and outcomes of children in out-of-home care, as care leavers, as child witnesses in child sexual assault proceedings and in families where the parents have separated and are working out the child’s time with both parents.
