[karly]

Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: CHCCHILD401A- case scenario Billy, Jenny,Lance and Mia
Your Assignment Type: Case Scenario
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Beginner

Your Question?
Having trouble to elaborate the answers for these questions, also I believe Billy is child at risk but after researching I'm feeling confused as harm/risk and neglect seem to be the same
1)Describe the indicators of possible abuse
2)Should Billy be reported as being a child at risk?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
answers for 1)
Lances reaction and rough handling towards Billy when asked about bruises
Colour of bruises on the upper back indicate old and new bruises
Billy has become withdrawn from in group activities and often becomes aggressive when unable to avoid interaction
Billy often has a runny nose and has become thin and sallow in appearance
answers for 2)
yes, I believe Billy is at risk
Lance is under a lot of stress and his reaction of rough handling when asked about bruises could eventually do a lot of harm to Billy
Billy is at risk of harm and details need to be recorded, and my supervisor notified so she contact the right authorities.


am i on right track and where can i elaborate?
