One (1) Day Workshop
ASSESSING PROTECTIVE BEHAVIOURS OF NONOFFENDING CARE GIVERS IN ALLEGATIONS OF
SEXUAL ABUSE
aim
Every day Child Protection workers must make decisions about the potential risks of
allowing convicted and alleged sexual offenders contact with children. In doing so you
have to balance the complex and challenging task of recognising the significance of the
relationship between a parent and his/her child whilst also considering the risk that a sex
offender can pose to his/her own children.
A fundamental component of risk assessment is an accurate assessment of the protective
capacity of the non offending care giver. Protective capacity has been considered in three
domains (i) Cognitive – referring to intellect, knowledge, understanding and recognising
potential threats. This includes being able to articulate the children’s needs and
understanding the protective role of a parent; (ii) Emotional Protective Capacity – referring
to the feelings, attitudes, identification and motivation that results in protective behaviours
and, (iii) Behavioural – activity and performance that results in parenting and protective
vigilance.
At the completion of the workshop you will be able to;
