Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children: is defined as by Working Together (2013) as: Protecting children from maltreatment Preventing impairment of children’s health or development Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care Taking action to enable children to have the best outcomes.

  6. Working Together (2013) “the child’s needs are paramount, and the needs and wishes of each child, be they a baby or infant, or an older child, should be put first, so that each child receives the support they need before a problem escalates”

  10. Local Safeguarding Children Boards The LSCB is the key statutory mechanism for agreeing how the relevant organisations in each local area will co-operate to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in that locality, and for ensuring the effectiveness of what they do. Working Together (2013): Chapter 3

  11. How do we protect children?What Laws Apply? • There is no single piece of legislation that covers child protection • Children Act (1989 /2004) Section 17, Section 47 • SET procedures encompass the legislation into working document

  23. Introduction to further learning

  24. 7 golden rules of information sharing Be open and honest Data Protection Act Seek advice Necessary Proportionate relevant accurate timely secure Consider safety and well being Record your decisions and reasons Share with consent

  25. Looked After Children (separate core training must be accessed) • Children and Young People currently looked after and/or accommodated by the Local Authority • Main reason being in care is a result of abuse or neglect • Highly vulnerable group. • Majority placed with registered foster carers. • Private Fostering

  26. FABRICATED AND INDUCED ILLNESS(FII) • In fabricated illness the perpetrator does not directly harm the child but reports to doctors a clinical story which is eventually established to be fabricated • In induced illness the perpetrator inflicts direct (hands on) harm to the child. This can range from trivial injuries such as pricking the child to add blood to urine, through to suffocation • Three ingredients: a dependent child, a carer and a healthcare system

  27. What to do if you suspect a case of FII • Discuss or inform Designated Doctor or Designated Nurse • If child attends and parent requesting referral – advise first discussion with lead consultant • Referral to Social Care will not include disclosure to parents/carers of professional concern prior to professional meetings • Prepare chronological report of attendances • Attend CP conference - vital

  28. Definition of Domestic Abuse "Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality. This can encompass but is not limited to the following types of abuse: • psychological • physical • sexual • financial • emotional Home Office 2013

  29. Female genital mutilation (FGM) Also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons."

  30. Honour Based Violence The terms ‘honour crime’, ‘izzat’ or ‘honour-based violence’ embrace a variety of crimes of violence (mainly but not exclusively against women), including assault, imprisonment and murder where the person is being punished by their family or community.

  31. “Blood is thicker than water….. Honour is thicker than blood” If referring a case of honour based abuse or forced marriage DO NOT inform or discuss anything with family and refer by phone to Honour based lead in Social care or police

  32. Forced Marriage A forced marriage is where one or both people do not (or in cases of people with learning or physical disabilities, cannot) consent to the marriage and pressure or abuse is used.

  33. Child Sexual Exploitation Sexual exploitation is a form of sexual abuse in which a young person is manipulated or forced into taking part in a sexual act. This could be as part of a seemingly consensual relationship, or in return for attention, affection, money, drugs, alcohol or somewhere to stay.
