  1. FdLS 2015 Session 2 Child Protection Issues Disclosure The role of talking and listening

  2. A History Lesson…Why is talking and listening so important?

  3. Mary Ellen Wilson 1874 • In 1874, a young girl known only as "Mary Ellen", was found tied to a bed like an animal, neglected and brutally beaten by her foster parents. In 1874, animals were legally protected from inhumane treatment, children weren't.

  4. CASE STUDIES ACTIVITYIn Pairs- Answer these questions on a word document which can be emailed to me and uploaded onto Moodle as Case Studies-Who was/were the victim(s)?-What happened to them?-How did Child Protection change as a result? • Maria Colwell 1973 • Tyra Henry 1984 • Toni Dales, 1992 • Victoria Climbie 2000 • Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman, 2002 • Peter Connelly, 2007 • Start by looking at: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/maria-colwell-death-led-to-legislation-over-two-decades-1431158.html

  5. NSPCC 2000 • Interviewed 3000 in UK • 1 in 14 suffered physical violence at hands of parent or carers • 49% ill treated by mother • 40% ill treated by father • 8% ill treated by step parent • 1 in 17 suffered serious physical neglect • 1 in 25 girls sexually abused by family member

  6. Domestic Violence • In 90% of cases children are in the same or an adjacent room • Child/woman abuse occur together in up to 60% of cases • Children feel guilty that they have not offered support to the victim • This results in anxiety….leading to ‘observable behavioural effects’

  7. Emergence of ECM- WHY? • As a result of Climbie who died in 2000. • Support Services were involved 12 times over 10 months • Common Threads: • Late intervention • Poor information sharing • No accountability • Over stretched front line workers

  8. Multi Agency involvement • All agencies have a responsibility for safeguarding • LAs have to promote achievement of children in care • Clear standards must be set

  9. Early Intervention • Development of CAF (Common Assessment Framework) • A single lead professional • Multi-disciplinary teams in children’s centres to support schools

  11. The Decision Making Process • Children need to know they are being listened to: • Learning targets • IEPs • Annual reviews • Contributing to assessment • Transition • Choice of school

  12. Seeking Children’s Views Code of Practice SEN Toolkit The importance of seeking children’s views Enabling children to contribute Designating specific staff Commitment to ensuring participation Pupil training to encourage them to become actively involved Teachers need to learn how to involve pupils

  13. In groups…. Reasons for not reporting incidents What would you do if a child makes a disclosure to you? Dos and don’ts

  14. How to get children to express their views?...Play 1. What are the types and range of play activities that children might engage in within your context? 2.
