Courts in the UK and Australia have problems. They must decide if people who hurt others can be near children.

英國與澳洲的法院面臨著一些問題。他們必須決定傷害他人的人是否可以接近兒童。

In the UK, a judge said a father can stay with his children. The father is in trouble for a serious crime. A higher court stopped this. They said the first judge was wrong. Many people in the UK have problems with domestic violence.

在英國，一名法官表示一名父親可以與他的孩子同住。該名父親因犯下嚴重罪行而陷入麻煩。隨後較高層級的法院阻止了這項決定，認為原法官的判決錯誤。英國有許多人面臨家庭暴力問題。

In Australia, a man hurt people in the past. A court said he can work with children. The court said he is a good person now because he does not drink alcohol. He wants to work in a church.

在澳洲，一名男子過去曾傷害他人。但法院表示他可以與兒童一起工作。法院認為他現在是一個好人，因為他不再飲酒。他希望在教會工作。

Now, Australia has a new law. A different office decides who can work with children. This office is more careful than the old court.

現在，澳洲有了新法律。由另一個部門決定誰可以與兒童一起工作。這個部門比之前的法院更加審慎。

These countries want to protect children. But they also think about the rights of the adults.

這些國家希望保護兒童，但同時也會考慮成年人的權利。

Recent legal cases in the United Kingdom and Australia have highlighted the difficult balance between granting parental or professional access and considering previous convictions for domestic violence.

英國與澳洲最近的法律案件，突顯了在准許父母或專業人士接觸兒童，與考慮先前家庭暴力定罪紀錄之間的平衡之困難。

In the United Kingdom, the High Court overturned a decision by Judge Robin Tolson KC, who had allowed three children to stay overnight with a father who was under police investigation for rape. This decision follows a pattern where Judge Tolson's rulings have been repeatedly reversed by higher courts. Senior judges have emphasized that his approach to consent was flawed and that he wrongly described victims as 'troubled' instead of abused. Furthermore, a report from the Domestic Abuse Commissioner shows that domestic violence is mentioned in about 90% of private law cases. Consequently, the government intends to improve how victims are treated within the legal system.

在英國，高等法院推翻了法官 Robin Tolson KC 的決定，他先前准許三名兒童與一名正接受警方強姦調查的父親同住過夜。此決定遵循了一種模式，即 Tolson 法官的裁決多次被更高層法院推翻。資深法官強調，他對「同意」的處理方式存在缺陷，且他將受害者描述為「有問題」而非「受虐」，這是錯誤的。此外，家庭暴力專員的報告顯示，約 90% 的私法案件中提到家庭暴力。因此，政府打算改善法律系統對待受害者的方式。

Similarly, in New South Wales, Australia, a tribunal (NCAT) granted a Working with Children Check (WWCC) to a man with a history of domestic violence and sexual assault, allowing him to work in a ministry. The tribunal argued that the crimes happened a long time ago and a psychological report suggested a low risk of repeating the behavior, especially since the man stopped drinking alcohol. This decision was based on the belief that his religious contributions would be useful to the public. However, the law has since changed, and the power to review these clearances has moved from the tribunal to the Office of the Children's Guardian (OCG).

同樣地，在澳洲新南威爾斯州，一個審判庭 (NCAT) 向一名有家庭暴力與性侵紀錄的男子授予了「兒童工作檢查」(WWCC) 證明，允許他在一個部門工作。審判庭主張這些罪行發生在很久以前，且心理報告建議重複該行為的風險較低，尤其是該男子已停止飲酒。此決定是基於認為他的宗教貢獻對大眾有用。然而，法律隨後已更改，審查此類許可的權力已從審判庭移交至兒童監護辦公室 (OCG)。

Both countries show a continuing legal struggle to balance the rights and rehabilitation of the accused with the urgent need to protect vulnerable people.

兩國均顯示出，法律上仍持續掙扎於如何在被告人的權利與康復，以及保護弱勢群體的迫切需求之間取得平衡。

Recent legal proceedings in the United Kingdom and Australia have highlighted systemic tensions between the granting of parental or professional access and the consideration of prior domestic violence convictions.

英國與澳洲最近的法律程序凸顯了在授予父母或專業人士接觸權，與考量先前家庭暴力定罪紀錄之間的系統性緊張關係。

In the United Kingdom, the High Court has overturned a decision by Judge Robin Tolson KC, who had permitted overnight contact between three children and a father under police investigation for rape. This determination followed a pattern of judicial conduct characterized by repeated appellate reversals. Specifically, Judge Tolson's historical approach to consent and his characterization of victims as 'troubled' rather than abused have been identified as seriously flawed by senior judiciary members. The current case underscores a broader institutional challenge, as a Domestic Abuse Commissioner's report indicates that domestic violence is cited in approximately 90% of private law proceedings. Consequently, the government has signaled an intent to refine the experiences of victims within these legal frameworks.

在英國，高等法院推翻了 Robin Tolson KC 法官的決定，該法官先前允許三名兒童與一名正被警方調查強姦罪的父親過夜接觸。此次裁定遵循了一種以重複被上訴庭撤銷為特徵的司法行為模式。具體而言，Tolson 法官對「同意」的歷史處理方式及其將受害者描述為「有問題」而非被虐待，已被高級司法成員認定為嚴重缺陷。本案凸顯了更廣泛的體制挑戰，因為家庭暴力專員的報告指出，約 90% 的私法程序中均提及家庭暴力。因此，政府已表示有意改善受害者在這些法律框架內的經歷。

Parallelly, in New South Wales, the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) granted a Working with Children Check (WWCC) to an individual with a history of domestic violence and sexual assault, facilitating his entry into the ministry. The tribunal's rationale rested upon the temporal distance from the offenses and a forensic psychological assessment indicating a low risk of recidivism, particularly following the individual's cessation of alcohol consumption. This decision was predicated on the perceived public utility of religious contributions. Notably, this case occurred during a transitional legislative period; subsequent statutory amendments have shifted the appellate process for WWCC clearances from the NCAT to an internal review mechanism within the Office of the Children's Guardian (OCG).

與此同時，在新南威爾斯州，民事與行政審裁處 (NCAT) 授予了一名具有家庭暴力與性侵犯前科的人士「兒童工作檢查」(WWCC) 資格，以便其進入教會。審裁處的理據基於犯罪時間已久，以及法醫心理評估顯示再犯風險較低，特別是在該人士停止飲酒之後。此決定是基於對宗教貢獻之公共效用的認可。值得注意的是，本案發生在立法過渡期；隨後的法定修正案已將 WWCC 許可的上訴程序從 NCAT 移至兒童監護局 (OCG) 的內部審查機制。

Both jurisdictions demonstrate a continuing legal struggle to balance the rehabilitation or rights of the accused with the imperative of safeguarding vulnerable populations.

兩個司法管轄區均顯示，在平衡被告的康復或權利與保護弱勢群體的必要性之間，法律上仍存在持續的掙扎。
