    Investigating a fast-developing field of public policy, Stephen Winter examines how states redress injuries suffered by young people in state care. Considering ten illustrative exemplar programmes from Australia, Canada, Ireland, and Aotearoa New Zealand, Winter explores how redress programmes attempt to resolve the anguish, injustice, and legacies of trauma that survivors experience. Drawing from interviews with key stakeholders and a rich trove of documentary research, this book analyses how policymakers should navigate the trade-offs that survivors face between having their injuries acknowledged and the difficult, often retraumatising, experience of attaining redress. A timely critical engagement with this contentious policy domain, Winter presents empirically driven recommendations and a compelling argument for participatory, flexible, and survivor-focussed programmes. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

    Reviews & endorsements

    ‘Is justice possible for survivors of child abuse in out-of-home care through monetary redress schemes? In his invaluable analysis of schemes across four nations, Winter identifies how governments should balance political, logistical and ethical values in deciding who should get redress, how much, for what harms, and on what evidence.’ Frank Golding OAM, Federation University and Vice-President of the Care Leavers Australasia Network.

    ‘Providing unique insight into how redress programmes operate and recommendations for more survivor-focussed responses, this is a must-read for policymakers and those tasked with designing monetary redress schemes.’ Patricia Lundy, Ulster University.

    ‘This bold and ambitious work succeeds in extracting what does and does not work in redress programmes. Policymakers designing future schemes, survivors, staff at redress boards and researchers will all benefit from Winter’s informative and accessible research.’ Johanna Sköld, Linköping University.

    ‘This is a thoughtful and illuminating book that deepens our understanding of the problems and promise of monetary redress programmes. Rich in detail, and broad in scope, it is a compelling account of how redress is done, and how programmes for survivors of abuse can be improved.’ Elizabeth Stanley, Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington.
