Research publisher connecting funding and professional advice to monitoring recommendations
Childlight is the research organisation publishing Searchlight 2025, including a study of financial behaviour connected with child sexual exploitation. Its report identifies researchers, funding and advisers and links the work to recommendations for wider financial monitoring and cross-sector information sharing.
Study C acknowledges Westpac funding and advisers including Westpac's Mark Dickson and ICMEC Australia's Danielle Kelly. The report also identifies Human Dignity Foundation core grant INT21-01, with UNSW hub support through an Edinburgh collaboration agreement. These are separate disclosed support layers without a reconciled per-output budget. The study acknowledges panel recruitment, self-report and legal-category limitations. The retained material provides no base-rate calibration or operational validation that would justify treating its recommendations as an already proven financial-monitoring method.

Report identifies Human Dignity Foundation core grant INT21-01. UNSW hub support is through an Edinburgh collaboration agreement under that core grant; no amount or Westpac co-funder control right established.
The study also identifies support for UNSW's Childlight hub through an Edinburgh collaboration agreement under Human Dignity Foundation core grant INT21-01. Global acknowledgements thank JSS for funding two studies. Payment flow, amounts and any double-counting remain unresolved; the case records the disclosed layers separately without summing them. Searchlight's programme wording is Safer Families, Safer Communities, whereas Westpac's page uses Safer Children, Safer Communities; retain the wording difference rather than silently rewriting the source.
Read the research & sources ↗The new mechanism is resource support plus named advisory access to a published recommendation. Childlight Searchlight2025 Study C (PDF31–32, printed23–24) credits Westpac funding and names a committee including Westpac's Mark Dickson and ICMEC Australia's Danielle Kelly. It recommends broader financial monitoring and cross-sector sharing. This is a published recommendation, not a demonstrated detection system or bank decision. The report acknowledges panel recruitment, self-report and legal-category limitations; no base-rate calibration or operational validation was recovered in the inspected material.
