Description

This training clarifies the spectrum of neglect in relation to a child’s developmental trajectory. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to identify neglect and to explore the impact of neglectful parenting on a child’s wellbeing. The major theoretical approaches to neglect will be examined and a range of tools and techniques considered for assessing the child’s safety, the child’s welfare and the needs of the primary carer. This will include an overview of the long term impact of physical, emotional and environmental neglect on a child.

Within the training there is also an opportunity to develop a range of strategies for working on a multi-agency basis to assess and prevent neglect, particularly with families where there is resistance, denial and little or no change. In such circumstances practitioners will require the knowledge and tools to assess effectively in order to make crucial decisions about care proceedings in order to protect the child from significant harm.
