Assess strategies and methods used to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where abuse is confirmed (M3).
Aside from removing children from their families in a confirmed abuse case, there are other ways to ensure that the child will be looked after correctly, as in some cases, it is not always the parents doing the abusing, it could be family members or even a stranger that has groomed them.
One strategy would be parenting classes, which is also recommended by paediatricians in cases of neglect or maltreatment. In parenting classes, parents will be given the basic insight of how to cope with children during tantrums. This is main reason for why children are neglected. Mothers may suffer with post-natal depression, which may lead the to not be able to cope with their baby consistently crying, the same if they have older children also. It will teach parents to soothe their children during these episodes, and help them to understand that things like this are perfectly normal whilst their child is growing up. If their child has been a victim of sexual abuse, they may be referred to parenting classes to try to keep their child safe online, if it is grooming, or if it is done by someone that they know, how to look out for these warning signs. Researchers have in fact discovered that most cases of child abuse or neglect derive from parents simply snapping due to the stresses of life mixed in with the stresses of being a parent. It is usually someone who has 2 or more children, as there is an added element of stress due to the amount of children you have to be dealing with.
