305 KN K3S251

Hi all, quick question: Kn K3S251 on Unit 305 - "Recognition of social factors e.g substance abuse and the possible behvaiours of adults involved in abuse.

I understand the social factors, but does the adults involved mean - the adults who are abusing - and what their behaviour might be like??? or us as practitions and how we would behave to suspected abuse???


Any ideas, just the wording of these not to sure on.

Thanks

I understand this to mean:

recognition: behaviour altered or not the same as it was.
mouth or nose or both looking sore or red.
eyes unclear, looking glazed over.
smelling of alcohol.

behaviour: displaying an: 'over' affection for the child in public to disguise
possible abuse, overly harsh treatment of the child or
indifference to the child.
missing medical appointments or visiting medical services with
inessential reasons.

Signs of domestic abuse in parent/carer

Check Level 3 NVQ handbook?

Hope this helps. I could be wrong though! and if that's the case I take no responsibility! Good luck!

Substance abuse in parents may result in neglect and/or abuse of their child(ren)
For example, if a parent is using drugs they may be unable to see to their child's basic needs (food, warmth, clothing, love) resulting in neglect of the child.
