THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED: A REVIEW OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO INFORM AND IMPROVE SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE IN LONG-TERM CHILD PROTECTION CASES

neglect; but despite the huge financial investment in child protection, however, abuse and
neglect does not appear to be decreasing. It is therefore essential that child protection
agencies do everything they can to improve their effectiveness in protecting children. It is
argued that through learning from the recommendations made in child death cases, the
management of long-term, high-risk child protection cases can be improved and made
more effective. This paper reports on a study of three child death inquiries originating in
Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia where child protection agencies were already

involved with the child. An analysis of the recommendations made in these cases was
undertaken, and the thematic areas of “social worker and supervisor curiosity”, “childfocused
practice”, “child-focused decision making” and “cautious case closure” were
identified as the main areas that need to be improved if child death in long-term high-risk
child protection cases are to be prevented. -

Life and Death Matters
DYK that a person's aggressive behaviour may result from previous trauma? When a caregiver learns how to proceed with a trauma-informed approach, they gain the tools to de-escalate and comfort people - even if the person is traumatized.

A well-crafted psychological evaluation can be a game-changer for U or T visa applications. Your objective clinical findings provide crucial evidence of the psychological harm the client has endured. When preparing your evaluation, make sure to: ✅ Conduct a thorough assessment of the client’s mental health history. ✅ Document current symptoms and how trauma impacts daily life. ✅ Highlight cultural factors that may influence their experiences and coping mechanisms. ✅ Your expertise can make all the difference in supporting clients through their immigration journey. #ImmigrationEvaluation #MentalHealthMatters

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a unique approach, focusing on healing from trauma. It uses eye movements to help you process and release emotional distress tied to difficult memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR aims at reducing the emotional impact of past events, making it easier for you to move forward. It's a path many find helpful towards healing and we're here to guide you through it, understanding each step with compassion. 🌿🌺 #EMDR #TraumaRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #HealingJourney

Our relationships affect every area of our life and well-being. It is important that young people develop a strong understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like and that they learn how to assess their own relationships. The Healthy Relationship Triangle is a free resource that schools can use with their students to develop understanding and positive behaviours around healthier relationships. The animation provides a clear visual image, with an acronym that is easy to remember. RTC stands for Respect, Trust and Communication and forms the 3 sides of the triangle, encouraging young people to look for these qualities in their real-life relationships. The animation on their site is a useful resource for schools. #relationships #wellbeing

An estimated 50-67% of Canadians experience at least one adverse childhood experience (Public Health Ontario, 2020). ACEs are linked to increased depression, anxiety, risky sexual behaviour, and alcohol use and decreased flourshing and health (Landa-Blanco et al., 2024). Rape, witnessing familial violence, verbal humiliation, and living with individuals struggling with mental health and addiction issues have a particularly significant negative impact on mental health outcomes (Landa-Blanco et al., 2024). #mentalhealth#mentalhealthmatters#mentalhealthawareness#ace#adversechildhoodexeriences#depressionanxiety#canada#addiction (Public Health Ontario, 2020) https://lnkd.in/eTEgc72i (Landa-Blanco et al., 2024) https://lnkd.in/e5YVTFFc
