Hi
This is what i wrote, i will give you a few examples:
Social services roles and responsibilities are:
• To provide support for vulnerable children and families.
• To work co-operatively with parents/carers to help support the child/young person that use their service and they get the best outcome for the child.
• They are responsible for protecting and provide welfare and well being for the child or vulnerable adults.
Police roles and responsibilities are:
• The main role of the Police is to prevent crime and disorder and protect all individuals. The police need to see whether there is a crime that has been committed, they need to find out who is responsible and to obtain evidence to protect the individual who has been abused or neglected. The police investigate and work with other organisations such as children’s social care to gather information needed.
• All investigations can be sensitive .The police investigate child abuse cases (they have specialist training for this, Child Abuse Investigation Units (CAIUs). They have to protect the child by getting the right evidence in the correct way (not pressurising the child, putting words into the child’s thoughts e.g.). They also video this evidence to use in the courts if needed. All information will be passed on to the CPS (Criminal Prosecution Services) and they decide if there is a criminal case.
• The police have legislation to adhere to and protect the children. Children have the right to be fully protected (Children’s Act 2004 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children).
• They can access information through IMPACT Nominal Index (INI) which enables them to get accurate information very quickly. (including child protection, domestic violence, and crime). This can be used to see if a person has offended before and to supply information to have the child removed from their home quickly if the child is at significant risk. This should only be used when necessary, the final decision is made by a court on whether the child is removed from their parents/carers.
I also wrote about
- NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
- General Practitioners (GP’s)
- School roles and responsibilities
I also wrote this at the top and i also wrote about all policies and procedures should be followed.
Organisations involved with children/ young people employ people who will help support them. They all perform different job roles within their organisations but they all come together to work together regionally, adopting a joint, multi-agency approach. Early years workers, other child carer’s and teachers may be involved in maximising the child's learning and experiences through the settings, while outside professionals work on providing support in other areas such as home life.
The professionals are here to support you. If you are feeling distressed after or during involvement in a case of suspected or actual abuse, you may want the opportunity to talk through your feelings. But because of strict confidentiality, you must not talk to anyone who does not 'need to know'. However, it is appropriate for you to talk to your supervisor, or you can ask your supervisor for the name of the outside professional that you can contact to talk things over. This is generally a social worker or a worker from the NSPCC.
Hope it helps you with ideas
