USQ Policy & ircumstances - Nursing Assignment
The early modules of the course explore macro level issues of child abuse and neglect; including history, theory, definitions, prevalence and impact. This assignment asks you to draw on your learning thus far to prepare an essay, which explores the causes and effects of one type of abuse. You may choose one (1) abuse type to focus your essay on, from physical, sexual, emotional/psychological abuse, neglect or witnessing domestic and family violence.
In your essay, you are to:
- Define and explain your chosen abuse type, using theories of child abuse and neglect (eg. ecological, social learning etc) to support your explanation.
- Discussthe prevalence of the abuse type, in the Australian and international context.
- Identify the human rights violations relevant to your chosen abuse type, with reference to the relevant documents (UNCRC/UNDRIP)
- Critically analyse the potential impact of this abuse type on the individual (micro level) and society (macro level).
