Team Around the Child Presentation to CYPL Overview & Scrutiny BoardDave Mckenna
The document provides case studies and updates on several families involved with the Team Around the Child program. It summarizes the referrals, initial TAC meetings, and processes for 6 different families referred to the program between May 2009 and July 2010. The families were referred for reasons such as behavioral issues, domestic abuse, mental health concerns, and allegations of sexual abuse. The TAC meetings brought together representatives from schools, social services, health services, and voluntary organizations to coordinate support for the families.
This document discusses young carers, who are children that provide care for ill or disabled family members. It notes that 10-25% of children in the Netherlands are young carers. Young carers are at higher risk for mental health problems, negative school outcomes, and health issues. However, they are often overlooked as the focus is on the ill family member. The document calls for greater recognition of young carers and providing them support and prevention strategies like open communication, information, and teaching healthy coping strategies to help balance their care responsibilities with development.

The document discusses the education and health outcomes of children in out-of-home care. It finds that school failure is a strong predictor of negative psychosocial outcomes for foster children. Two Swedish trials found that assessing foster children's literacy and numeracy skills, and providing individualized educational support, substantially improved their test scores and skills over two years. The document advocates for health assessments and monitoring of all children when entering care to address untreated health problems and promote better long-term health outcomes.

Brazendale 2015 - Maximizing childrens PA using the LET US Play principlesKeith Brazendale
This study compared the physical activity levels of children playing common games with either traditional rules or modified rules based on the LET US Play principles. A total of 267 children participated in 50 physical activity sessions at a summer day camp. Games using LET US Play principles elicited more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity from both boys and girls compared to the same games with traditional rules. The largest increases in physical activity occurred during modified tag games. Overall, more children met the recommended benchmark of 50% time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity when games incorporated LET US Play principles.

Faculty and students have access to a larger collection of knowledge through open educational resources (OER), however this knowledge can become overwhelming. OER allows for the most current content to be efficiently implemented, but the most up-to-date content is not guaranteed. When resources are reviewed by multiple experts on an interactive web platform, the information has potential to be more accurate, but inaccurate content could also be shared. Pooled creativity can make course content more engaging, but it risks becoming too visually complex and losing the meaning. OER aligns with today's students' access to information, but some instructors may resist the significant changes in roles brought about by the OER movement.

This document describes a study that examined the importance of emotion tracking for behavior change. The researchers conducted interviews to explore how emotions influence unwanted behaviors. They then deployed a system where 35 participants logged information for an unwanted behavior over 21 days. Participants using an Emotion-Focused system to record emotional consequences of behaviors showed more successful behavior change. Analysis showed greater engagement of negative affect for unsuccessful days and increased insight were key to motivating change. The study provides implications for improving behavior change technologies with emotion tracking.

The document discusses research on the experiences of child protection social workers and asylum-seeking families in Ireland. Key findings included mutual mistrust between social workers and families due to the social workers' perceived role as representatives of the state and immigration officials. Families found it difficult to trust social workers and viewed them similarly to immigration officers due to fears over deportation. Social workers also struggled to work with unpredictable immigration processes that impacted family care plans. Both groups had challenges with cultural differences, language barriers, and the effects of Ireland's direct provision system for asylum seekers.

Several case studies are presented showcasing how the program maintained engagement during Covid-19 through surveys, leaflets, and creative projects. The program aims to put children's voices at the heart of local decision making and help services better support children's needs.
The document discusses Redbridge's efforts to become a Unicef UK recognized "Child Friendly Borough" through its Child Friendly Redbridge Programme. Some key points:
- The programme aims to put children and young people's voices at the heart of local decision making. It has engaged with over 2,000 children who prioritized safety, health, green spaces and diversity.
- During the pandemic, engagement continued through surveys, a youth zine, and maintaining the Youth Panel. Over 900 young people responded to the Covid survey which informed new resources.
- Examples of initiatives include developing safe routes to school, mental health mapping resources, and supporting young carers. External scrutiny involves youth presenting local issues
The document discusses various issues related to child protection, including the dynamics and risk factors of abuse, common types of abuse (physical, emotional, neglect, sexual), behaviors associated with sexual abuse, how to respond and report abuse allegations, and what happens when a report is made to child protective services. Key points include that the most common types of abuse investigated are exposure to intimate partner violence and neglect, risk factors for neglect include domestic violence and lack of social supports, sexually abused children most often know their abuser, and when an abuse report is made the child must be seen by protective services within 12 hours to ensure safety.
Child dumping is increasing in the region. The researcher plans to study awareness of child dumping at the grassroots level by surveying police, courts, hospitals, ministries, churches, media, youth groups, and local leaders. A survey has been developed to understand definitions of child dumping, experiences reporting or witnessing dumping, causes, impacts on rights and well-being, how parents can be involved, prevention, and recommendations. The survey will be administered by the Eye of the Child organization to assess awareness and capacity for handling dumping cases locally.

Promoting the well being of children in out of home care:BASPCAN
The document discusses research on involving children and parents in the care planning and review process for children in out-of-home care. It finds that while the system aims to involve all parties, there are challenges in balancing different perspectives. Interviews revealed that children's experience of reviews depends on how positive and reassuring the meeting is. While most children attend, older children are more likely to be involved. The roles of social workers and independent reviewing officers in facilitating involvement are examined, alongside key dilemmas around openness, privacy, and formality versus responsiveness. Involving birth parents in plans and children's lives can help if done sensitively.
This document provides an overview of child protection training. It begins with an introduction to the topics covered, including the theology of child protection and history of child protection laws. It then discusses definitions of different types of child abuse and outlines government guidelines for responding appropriately. Specific policies and best practices for protecting children are presented, including guidelines for staff training and reporting abuse. The document aims to equip participants to protect children from harm.
This document summarizes a presentation about supporting families of children with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD). It discusses the challenges these families face due to contradictory information from professionals and a lack of understanding about ANSD. Through interviews, common themes from families were identified. These included a desire to understand what their child can hear, relying on self-education rather than professional support, and having to constantly explain ANSD. The document outlines families' experiences from birth to school-age and key issues at each stage, such as developmental delays, communication options, and social skill difficulties. It also identifies factors that did not help families, such as a "wait and see" approach and lack of professional knowledge about ANSD.
This document provides information to help youth and families understand their rights when interacting with the juvenile justice system. It discusses what to expect during police contact for minor and serious offenses, the diversion and court processes, and how to work with probation officers and attorneys. It emphasizes the importance of parental involvement, understanding available rights and options, and addressing racial disparities.

'Letting the Future In' an intervention for child sexual abuse: from practice...BASPCAN
This document summarizes the partnership between the NSPCC and two universities to develop and evaluate an intervention for child sexual abuse called Letting the Future In (LTFI). It describes how NSPCC studies found a gap between need for therapeutic services for child sexual abuse victims and what was available. Practitioners then created LTFI which was piloted and implemented. An independent evaluation was commissioned including a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to rigorously evaluate LTFI's effectiveness. Overcoming challenges, the RCT recruited 242 children and was the largest of its kind. It aimed to provide high-quality evidence on LTFI's impact to inform practice and policy.

This document summarizes the findings of an evaluation of the FED UP program, which provides services to families where parents misuse drugs/alcohol. The evaluation found that the program was effective in reducing children's emotional and behavioral problems, improving their self-esteem, helping them process thoughts/feelings, and enhancing protective parenting. Key mechanisms of change included children feeling less alone and parents gaining insight into how their behavior impacts children. Barriers to the program included issues with group composition and family instability. The implications discussed expanding the program's reach and using data to improve outcomes for children.

Young People's Perspectives on Recognising and Telling about Abuse and NeglectBASPCAN
This document summarizes a study on young people's perspectives on recognizing and disclosing abuse and neglect. The study included a literature review, analysis of an online peer support site, and interviews with 30 vulnerable young people aged 11-20. It developed a framework for understanding how young people recognize, tell about, and get help for abuse, which influences practitioners. The framework shows recognition, telling, and help can be partial, hidden, signs-based, or purposeful. It also examines how related interventions can help symptoms or underlying causes, and influence trust, effectiveness, and duration of support over time. The implications are that practitioners should not rely on verbal disclosure, be sensitive to the challenges of telling, and see that recognition may come
WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE DISCLOSURE ACROSS THE DE...BASPCAN
This document summarizes a study comparing narratives of child sexual abuse disclosure between young people and adults. It found that young people were more likely to disclose due to a "pressure cooker effect" of emotions building up over time or being directly asked about signs of distress. In contrast, adults were more likely to blame themselves for the abuse and believed telling would make the situation worse. The study highlights the importance of creating an environment where children feel believed and supported to disclose abuse.
The document summarizes a study that examined informal and formal support structures for young people who experienced child abuse. 53 young women and 7 young men between ages 18-24 who reported extensive victimization were interviewed. On average, it took 7.8 years to disclose experiences of child sexual abuse. Most initial disclosures were to informal sources like family and friends. Barriers to disclosure included lack of knowledge that the abuse was wrong and lack of trusted adults. Missed opportunities for intervention were identified at the individual, family, community, and system levels. Key recommendations included providing youth appropriate information about relationships early on, communicating with youth directly and sensitively, and ensuring professionals notice signs of struggle and ask youth directly about their experiences.
The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program is a 12-module home-based parenting program that aims to reduce child abuse potential, parental stress, and child behavior problems. The modules can be addressed in any order based on family priorities and are supplemented by liaison with other social services. Studies have found the PuP program reduces child abuse potential, parental stress and improves child behavior, and for every 100 families treated there would be an estimated savings of AU$3.1 million.
Improving Decision-Making in Pre-birth Assessment: The OxPUP ProjectBASPCAN
This document summarizes the OxPUP (Oxford Pre-birth Pathway) project, which aims to improve decision-making in pre-birth assessments. It describes the OxPUP pathway, which involves identifying high-risk families during pregnancy and providing intervention. It also discusses tools used in pre-birth and postnatal assessments. The document presents two case studies, one where the child remained with their parents and one where the child was removed at birth. It finds that OxPUP cases had lower foster care costs and shorter court times compared to non-OxPUP cases.
A Pilot Study on the Feasibility and Efficacy of the Parents Under Pressure (...BASPCAN
1) The document describes the introduction of the Parents Under Pressure (PuP) program at Coolmine Therapeutic Community in Dublin to address gaps in supporting the parent-child relationship for mothers in residential treatment.
2) Quantitative and qualitative data were collected pre, mid, and post intervention to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of PuP. Results showed reductions in depression, anxiety and stress levels as well as improvements in parent-child functioning.
3) Qualitative interviews found that PuP helped participants better understand how their childhood trauma and addiction had negatively impacted parenting, but also increased hope by providing mindfulness techniques and a supportive group environment.
Engaging young advisors in creating strategies for increasing safety at the i...BASPCAN
Young advisors from over 100 teenagers aged 13-21 across several European countries were engaged to advise on a project about increasing safety regarding new technologies and intimate partner violence. The advisors provided input on developing the project website and materials. Challenges included low online discussion participation and high turnover of advisors. Strategies to address this included providing incentives, flexible timing of meetings, and discussing issues in new ways like drawing. Key issues were lack of advisor ownership of the online space and lack of direct cross-country discussions. Recommendations included giving advisors control of social media and enabling international meetings.
Young People's Perspective on Online and Offline Experiences of Interpersonal...BASPCAN
This document summarizes key findings from a study on young people's experiences with interpersonal violence and abuse both online and offline. The study included 100 interviews with young people ages 15-18 in several European countries. Key findings included:
1. Experiences of controlling behavior and surveillance both online and offline were normalized by some youth. This included pressure to share passwords and social media accounts.
2. Sending and receiving unwanted sexual images online was also normalized in some areas, though it caused distress for others, especially in tight-knit communities.
3. Both sexual pressure and physical/emotional violence occurred offline as well, with young women disproportionately impacted.
4. New technologies played a role
Incidence, nature and impact of online and offline forms of intimate partner ...BASPCAN
This document summarizes a study exploring intimate partner violence among young people in five European countries. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, including expert workshops, a survey of 4,500 14-17 year olds, interviews with 100 young people, and development of an app. The survey finds high rates of online and offline emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Girls report more negative impacts than boys. Factors like family violence, bullying, and gendered attitudes predict greater risk. The study also examines sending and sharing of sexual images, finding it associated with greater intimate partner violence risk, especially for girls.
Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas Part 3BASPCAN
This document discusses babies and parenting. It focuses on families, empowering parents, and providing community-based training for new parents. The overall message is one of support for babies and their families within a community.
Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas Part 2BASPCAN
In Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India, with a population of 1.7 million people, only around 1800 have access to reliable quality professional services. Most pediatricians in the area have little awareness of the importance of early intervention for children. Developmental disabilities can be present from birth or acquired later in life due to factors like malnutrition, anemia, neglect, or lack of stimulation, and many acquired disabilities can be prevented by proper care and support during early childhood years.
Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian HimalayasBASPCAN
Babies On Top of the World documents early intervention programs for children with disabilities in remote areas of the Indian Himalayas run by the Latika Roy Foundation. The foundation operates 8 centers that serve over 300 children daily and monitors 500 high-risk infants annually, providing developmental assessments, therapy, and training parents and community health workers, though this still only reaches a small fraction of the estimated 66 million developmentally disabled children in India.
An Inclusive and Families Strengths Based Approach in Child ProtectionBASPCAN
This document discusses East Lothian Council's adoption of a strengths-based, inclusive approach to child protection called Signs of Safety. It notes key reports and legislation driving this change and outlines East Lothian's multi-year implementation process beginning in 2011 with workshops and establishing governance groups. This included introducing Signs of Safety for initial case conferences in 2013 and all conferences, supervision, and core groups by 2014. Feedback found professionals and families felt meetings were inclusive and addressed risks fully, though plans were sometimes incomplete. This led to a research project on making plans more specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-based.

17. I am not approaching the child
Social workers talk about themselves as becoming
disorientated, not sure about what is permitted in
relation to the criminal legal proceedings
•finding no convenient moment for approaching the
child or
•concluding that there is already too many different
new persons for the child in CH
17 Ann-Margreth E. Olsson 2015
18. The whys
– Enough for today for the child…
– I will not be this child’s social worker – a
colleague will take over …
– First we always meet the parents .…
– Later we will invite the child…
– Tomorrow we will check if the child has
arrived to school, about reactions and
questions…
(in participating observations)

19. Leaving
and there is no immediate need of protection
The child leaves CH with the legal guardian
and safety person…
• returns to school or day care without any further
support.
• not knowing the parents’ responses and
reactions when informed.
• later goes home to the parents without further
support or information about what is going on,
• not given opportunities in relieving of feelings
after being summoned and brought to police
interrogation in CH
19
23. The dream: Involving the child
• firm and successful in the negotiation and
power game between criminal/legal domain &
social/legal domain
• living the idea of involving the child improving
assessment and support
• exploring the child’s point of view here and
now, needs, resources and future contacts
• giving the child the social worker’s visiting card
- telephone number, e-mail - how to come in
contact
• consulting the child afterwards – same day or
next day
23 Ann-Margreth E. Olsson 2015
24. Conclusions and suggestions
• Introduce professional considerations about the
involvement of the child before, during and after
the forensic interview
• Develop joint actions in inviting the child into a
dialogue with the social worker
• Introduce and develop special support to
children returning to school or day care or
create an alternative solution the rest of the day
