Child Protection Worker Scenarios

88 Words1 Page

A child protection worker is assigned. The person who reported the suspicion is interviewed. The child protection worker views CAS records for past or present contact with the child, family and/or the alleged abuser. The child protection worker sees the child to evaluate his/her immediate safety. The child’s parent/caregiver is interviewed by the child protection worker (with police, if suitable), unless the parent/caregiver is the alleged abuser. The alleged offender is interviewed by police first. The child protection worker may, when fitting, interview the alleged abuser (Rimer, 2003).

  • Working To Safeguard Children

    1284 Words  | 6 Pages

    Safeguarding is defined as protecting children from maltreatment, preventing impairment of children 's health or development, ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care, and taking action to enable all children to have the best life chances. There is different safeguarding legislation in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, so we will look at them all individually. When looking at safeguarding children in England, the first piece of legislation is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), 1989, which was ratified by the UK in 1991. It has not become part of English law, but the British governments have said they are bound by this convention.

Bartol, 2022, p. 466). Providing information and evidence requires the forensic psychologist to interview the view.

    To conclude covering this topic of child abuse, it is important for those within and outside the social work profession to understand the guidelines of helping a potential child in danger. As mentioned before social workers are mandated reporters but not every one outside of that profession is. Any individual who witnesses or even hears of any type of child abuse has the power to greatly help or even save that child life. It is predicted that those that suffer from abuse are less likely to graduate high school, become employed, and even get married when compared to those that haven’t suffered from abuse. These children that suffer from being abused also have a higher rate of getting put in a juvenile detention center and/or even being arrested

A child witness is anyone who is under the age of 18 who is expected to testify about something he or she experienced, saw or heard. A competency examination regarding a child may be conducted only if the court determines, on the record, that compelling reasons exist. A child’s age alone is not a compelling reason. There are only certain peoples that are permitted to be present during the competency examination, those are: (1) the judge, (2) the attorney for the Government, (3) the attorney for the defendant, (4) a court reporter and, (5) a person whose presence is necessary for the welfare and well-being of the child, this may include the child 's attorney, child 's parent or guardian.
