This document discusses disclosures of harm from children. It defines a disclosure as when a child reveals a past, current or ongoing experience of harm. Disclosures can be direct or indirect through behaviors. Studies show children often do not disclose abuse until adulthood due to various reasons. Potential indirect disclosures include changes in emotions, behaviors, drawings or questions. When responding to a disclosure, it is important to listen without judgment, reassure the child it is not their fault, and inform them of next steps like contacting authorities while making sure the child feels safe. Open-ended questions should be asked to learn more while avoiding closed questions that could make the child feel blamed.

Dealing with bullies do's & don'tsEdukhojIndia
The many types of researches on bullying have predominantly shown that bullying is practised everywhere and can be devastating to the victim's mental & physical health. Mostly it has been observed that bullying affects an individual’s psychology and personality development during the foundation years, i.e., in schools. Here, parents or guardians need to play a crucial role – they need to be extra vigilant and observe their child’s behaviour and try to figure out whether he/she gets bullied in school or plays the role of a bully. Now, in this PPT, let’s understand more about how to deal with bullies in a better and effective way.
I. Introduction A. Attention Getter Hello how are you guys doing .docxjewisonantone
I. Introduction
A. Attention Getter: Hello how are you guys doing today? So my name is Emily and this is my daughter Adeline. *(smacks Adeline on the head, pulls her hair, yanks her arm, and smacks her hand). So who felt uncomfortable watching that and not just because this was a doll? Now imagine if this was a live child. She would have felt the sting of each slap and most likely winced once she saw my hand raise each time.
B. Introduce Topic: This is my message for you today. To ban corporal punishment
within the home. Now the kind of corporal punishment I’m referring to is punishment
administered by an adult to the body of a child ranging in severity from a slap to a spanking. Now, does anyone have a child?
C. Reason to Listen/Credibility
: Okay so most of you don’t, but I’m sure at some point
in your life you have encountered a child who is so irritating that you have to
physically remove yourself from their presence. Well, I happen to have a little niece and every weekend she stays with us. She is eight now, but this has been happening since the age of one so trust me I have been through those terrible twos, terrifying threes, frightening fours, and into the stage she has been in since six, sassy.
I know what it’s
like to be so annoyed at a child where you think smacking them is the only way to solve the problem, but we all need to learn why physical punishment does nothing good for children.
D. Preview of Main Points: There are so many reasons I could give as to why children
should not be physically punished, but I’m going to break it down into the three
categories I believe should be enough of a reason to stop. First, think of what it could do
to your child socially. Second, think about your child’s future education. Third, there are
so many alternatives parents can use instead of spanking.
Transition:
So the first thing I’m going to talk about is how corp
oral punishment affects
a child’s
social life both with others and within themselves.
II. Body
A. Main Point #1: Social Aspects
1. Subpoint #1: Interaction with others~ Now more than ever, networking is a key aspect to success and building those developed social interactions at a young age is incredibly important.
a. Supporting Evidence: In an academic journal about the benefits of never spanking, a research study followed 3,000 children in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from ages 3-14. The results led people to conclude that the more corporal punishment used, the greater the tendency for antisocial behavior. These findings were also consistent regardless of race, gender, and socioeconomic status
. (New Evidence...)
If antisocial behaviors start this young, it becomes a habit and that habit will be hard to break when your child is being interviewed by a complete stranger and expected to form a connection within 20-30 minutes.
b. Supporting Evidence: The same study also showed that higher amounts of corporal punishment in the home led to a greater am.

2. What is a disclosure?
A disclosure is when a child
lets someone else know of
a recent, ongoing or historic
experience of harm.
When a child discloses harm,
it is often through their
behavioural and emotional
language
A disclosure is may be
direct ( by telling someone)
or
indirect ( though non verbal
means)
3. Important....
The Royal Commission findings and other studies
show that the average time before someone
discloses abuse is about 20 years.
This means that children are not being heard or
understood during their childhood.
There are many reasons why children don't
disclose, and why adults don't hear when they
attempt to tell.
4. Identifying Disclosures
Not all disclosures involve a child directly telling an
adult what has happened. In fact this rarely
happens .
Disclosures often take the form of indirect
expressions of what has happened.
In the following examples decide whether each should be
considered a potential disclosure or not.
5. " I don't want to go
to Uncle Jim's
house anymore.......
Is this a potential disclosure
of abuse from a child?
YES
NO
6. YES!
This is a potential
disclosure
Signs of anxiety or worry from a
child about attending the home
of a previously loved relative is a
possible indirect disclosure.
7. A once-happy child has become
sullen and withdrawn and gets
aggressive when spoken to
directly.
Is this a potential disclosure
of abuse from a child?
YES
NO
8. YES!
This is a potential
disclosure
Heightened negative emotions
eg aggression, are a common
way for a child to disclose
9. A child's recent drawings are of
dark and violent images
Is this a potential disclosure
of abuse from a child?
YES
NO
10. Artwork that depicts graphic
imagery or writing about it,
is a potential form of
disclosure
YES!
This is a potential
disclosure
11. Examples of possible indirect disclosures
• Destructiveness
• Non compliance
• Non-verbal cues
• Artwork
• emotions
• Aggression
• Avoiding situations
• Appearing disinterested
• Through discussions and questions " is it ok to...?
• Drawing or writing stories about sexual acts
• Sexualised behaviours
• Risk-taking behaviours
• Self harming
• Suicidal behaviour
• Disordered eating
• Drugs and alcohol
12. Responding to disclosures
Now that you know a little more about identifying a
possible disclosure, let's look at how to respond safely
and effectively - particularly if a child or vulnerable adult,
comes to you directly.
13. Responding to Disclosures
For each question presented in this scenario you will be
given a series of responses to choose from.
Select the one you think is best suited to helping the child.
Based on your response, you will get feedback, including the child's reaction as well as
pointers about what was or was not ideal about your response.
14. You are approached by a child who has just
returned from gym practice.
She is visibly distressed and almost
incapable of talking and will not look you in
the eye.
The child explains in stilted words that
something happened to them involving an
adult.
Scenario
15. Thanks for telling me, are
you ok?
Next
Thank you for telling me.
Do you want to tell me
what happened?
Why dont you tell me
what happened?
Select your response
from the options
Ok, thanks for telling me.
Did this happen at gym
practice?
16. Ok, thanks for telling me.
did this happen at gym
practice? The child says
yes, but no
longer wants to
talk about
anything else
If you try to coerce a particular
response from a child, you run
the risk of placing them in blame.
Closed questions can have this
effect, especially when you do
not yet know what has
happened.
Try again
17. Can you tell me more
about what happened?
The child is more
comfortable now and
you can begin to
seek more
information.
Next
Did someone touch you
or threaten you in any
way?
OK. What happened,
was it at gymnastics?
OK. was this adult at
gymnastics?
Select your response
from the options
18. Can you tell more more
about what happened?
The child
cautiously
explains that an
adult touched her
after gym
practice.
Asking open-ended
questions gives the child
an opportunity to talk more
about what happened and
helps you decide what you
need to do next.
Next
19. I'll need to speak to the
police. Can you tell me a
little more?
The child has now
told you that she was
touched by an adult
at gym practice
Next
Has this only happened
today? what can I do help
you feel safe?
Thank you for telling me.
Was it your coach who did
this?
I'm going to talk to
someone who can help.
How can I help you feel
safe now?
Select your response
from the options
20. Has this only happened
today? What can I do to
help you feel safe?
The child says
yes, then looks
ashamed and no
longer wants to
talk.
Assuring the child you are
interested in keeping them safe
is crucial. However,
it is not your job to investigate.
You only need to find out enough
to know how to proceed.
Try again
21. The child feels
reassured.
Informing the child of your next steps
is crucial. Consider the age of the
child, the context and any known risk
factors and explain to her that you
will need to talk with someone to
help her be safe.
Equally important is assuring her
that you will support her throughout
these next steps by checking on on
what else you can do.
Thank you for sharing that with me.
I'm going to talk to someone who
can help. How can I help you feel
safe now?
22. Responses
• Listen to the child
• Stay calm
• Believe the child
• Tell them it's not their fault and they've done the
right thing by telling
• Let them tell you in their own words
• Don't jump to conclusions
• Only ask questions for clarification, not to
investigate
• Let the child know what you need to do next
• If you need to clarify what the child is telling you only
as 1 or 2 questions - the purpose of this is to assess
what you need to do next.
23. Clarifying Questions
Leading/closed questions
• Did he/she touch you?
• Was that ( him/her) that did that to you?
• What else has ( he/she done to you?
• Are you sure that happened?
Open-ended Questions
• Can you tell me more about that?
• What happened?
• when did this happen?
• What do you need to help you feel safe now?
