Case Study Analysis and Response
Regardless of your professional context, you will be required to respond in some way to clients with histories of abuse/neglect. In some cases, the abuse and neglect might be current, or it might be historical but involved trauma or cumulative harm, the effects of which are ongoing and interfere with a person’s capacity to function in life and live a serene and fulfilling life.
Your task for this assessment is to choose one of the five cases provided and analyse the case material provided. You will then apply relevant key concepts from the course to assess the risk and protective factors relevant to the case, analyse the impact of the harm and risk, and outline a response, drawing on literature, research and course content to justify your response.
Task
Part A – Risk and Protection Analysis
Using Holder and Morton’s six elements of safety, conduct an analysis of the risk and protective factors present in the case, and draw on research and literature to support your analysis.
Holder and Morton’s’ six elements of safety are:
o Threats (of harm)
o Harm
o Severity
o The vulnerability of the child
o Imminence (time)
o And protective capacity (of self and that provided by the parent/carer/guardian)
Part B – Discussion of implications
Clearly articulate the implications for the case study child/ren should the situation remain unaddressed,
• Evaluate the short and long term impacts of harm and risk on the case study child/ren.
• Use literature to support your analysis of the implications for the child and family.
Part C. Outline and justify a response to your assessment of risk and harm (part A) and potential implications (part B) that includes the following:
• Legislation relevant to your professional context
• Systems of child protection which you may need to collaborate with and utilise to respond to meet the protection needs of the child
• Prevention and intervention approach (considering all three tiers of intervention) to support the needs of the child and family.
