Our day to day tasks:

• Be vigilant
• Record and report concerns to our DSL
• Building a picture
• Analysis of information: “what is life like for this child?”

Where we have concerns:

• We do NOT investigate abuse
• Recognising and identifying
• Proof and evidence
• Reasonable grounds to believe the child may be experiencing abuse
• Requesting an investigation

Investigating and clarifying questions

• We need clarity
  • What is a clarifying question?
• We do not:
  • Ask about anything the child has not mentioned
  • Ask any leading questions
  • Keep on asking when we have enough information
