Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi I'm having trouble with a couple of the questions for Assessment 1 task 1. I don't know how to find the answer to the question-
What is the name of the leislation that relates to child protection in your State (Qld)?

I'm also having trouble with this question-
What are the indicators of failure to provide basic physial or emotional necessities for children?

That question confuses me because I don't know the difference between that question and this one-
List possible indicators of physical abuse or ill treatment.

Thanks for any help. This assignment is slightly overdue but I have a chance to hand it in in a few days so please help me.

Hi,im currently studying child protection,,anyway regarding to your question .What are the indicators of failure to provide basic phycal or emotional necessities for children?

*I think this is about neglect--
basic physical need such as food...clothing etc.......
emotional needs/or phsychological needs such as sufficient or appropriate nurturing,stimulation,comforting and acceptance of the child from the caregiver.

Physical indicator of neglect eg.poor standard of hygiene,,delay in developmental milestone,,,poor primary health care etc...
emotional indicator;anxiety about being dropped or abandoned,,seeking of adult affection..etc...

Regarding to your other question indicator of physical abuse refers to assault,non accidental injury... indicators eg..bruising of the face,,head and neck,violent behaviour,wearing clothing in appropriate to weather...



Hope this help j x
