Hi everyone, happy new year!
Thanks for the replies yes I'm doing the city and guilds level 3 and yes its the big assignment on safeguarding. We have been asked to complete task c first which is the 'policy and case studies' updating it after recent safeguarding training. I got confused with task a which is the information booklet! I think I know what to write for task c just not sure how to present it as I confused myself thinking it was the information booklet :/
If anyone can offer any advice on how they answered task c it would be greatly appreciated :-)

just looked back through my portfolio. heres the first part, so i just completed it on word, and wrote a section about the underlying factors, then wrote the next part up in sub headings, so domestic, then i wrote about that, neglect...and so on.

not sure if that helps at all?

Your section of the policy will:
• identify underlying factors which place children at risk of harm or being abused (ref 3.1)
• describe the different forms of abuse; this will include the possible signs, symptoms and behavioural indicators for the following types of abuse:
a) domestic
b) neglect
c) physical
d) emotional
e) sexual
f) bullying

for F bullying, i looked at the range and wrote about each type of bullying: direct bullying, indirect, physical verbal etc.

let me know if you need anymore help.

im back at work tomorrow but can reply later in the evening:)

Categories of Abuse

Physical Injury: This is defined as any injury inflicted or knowingly not prevented by any person having custody or care of a child.
Physical abuse is often defined by injuries that cannot be explained by the normal play activities of a child, and is defined as hitting or hurting a child on purpose.


Neglect: This is defined as the wilful failure to meet the basic needs of a child, for example, not clothing, feeding or caring for a child adequately and leaving them without adequate supervision.


Emotional Abuse: This is defined as any abuse or torment which would have an effect on the mental health and wellbeing of a child. Most commonly emotional abuse is categorised as shouting at a child, making a child feel worthless, exposing a child to inappropriate and never punishment and inconsistency of behaviour towards a child.


Sexual Abuse: This is defined as the exploitation of children in order to meet the demands of adults or other children. Sexual abuse may include: involvement of children in masturbation, involvement of children in pornographic activity, including taking pornographic photographs and involving children in watching or viewing pornographic materials, involvement of children in sexual activity, including; rape, sodomy, oral sex and sexual intercourse with a child, even with their consent.

Thank you so much ilovedisney and kaneez77 that does make sense and has helped me out a lot I can stop panicking now:)
This site is fab I’m so glad I found it!

Very useful replies on this thread If it helps to credit your work appropriately, this page of the NSPCC links to different types of abuse and the signs associated with them https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-...e-and-neglect/

You'll also find relevant information in your handbook. Search inside the preview of this book for 'definitions of abuse and click the link to page 96, then scroll down.

Best wishes xx

Hi everyone, just a thought can anyone remember if they put pictures in their assignment for Task C the 'Policy and Case Studies'?
I'm not sure if its expected or not?
Many thanks x

[kaneez77]

No I didn't put no pictures in. You don't need to but if u want to it is not a problem.

Hello me again! Can anyone point me in the right direction where is the best place to find the roles and responsibilities of the different agencies and professionals that may be involved where a child has been abused or harmed. Either websites or text books I'm looking in the cache level 3 handbook now as speak! Any answers will be much appreciated :)
