Sceanrio: Larry - Factors While Recording Disclosures

[qcma]

i m confused in this question .question isWHAT R THE FACTORS U WOULD CONSIDER WHILE RECORDING DISCLOSURE?
.Refer to the following parts of the scenario, and answer the questions below.

Larry Rainbow (4yrs born on 16th of August 2010) has just started attending Skittles Family Day-care 5 days a week and wears the same clothes often for 4 or 5 days in a row. His clothes show evidence of the painting activities done the day before and are quite smelly. The educator attempts to change him but finds no spare clothes in his bag.
Educator uses centre spare clothes to change Larry and finds multiple sized bruises on his upper right thigh and a large bruise on the left side of his ribs.

He is always the first to sit at the table to wait for his lunch and always says that he is hungry. He has little food supplied daily in his lunch box despite educators asking his parents for extra food to satisfy the minimum daily requirements for nutrition and also to satisfy his hunger.
On many occasions when his mum rushes in to drop him off in the morning, she says that there was no time for breakfast but that he can wait for morning tea which is not far away. The educator then supplies him with some toast anyways. As Larry is eating his toast he complains about a sore right wrist. Upon educator looking at his wrist believes it to be broken due to colouring and severe swelling.

The educator is sitting at the morning tea table with the children and starts talking about what the children do when they go home. Some of the children say they sit and watch TV and then have dinner. Others say they have to have a shower or bath and put their pyjamas on while mummy cooks their dinner. It is at this point that Larry says he never has to have baths; he just plays in his room and sometimes gets to choose biscuits for dinner time.

The educator decides to not further question Larry at the morning tea table but later talks to Larry when he is at the painting table by himself and asks what sorts of things he has for dinner. Larry again repeats what he said earlier and further explains that he gets to have spaghetti sometimes which is his favourite but mostly has sandwiches and sometimes gets left over take away if mummy doesn’t eat it all.

At all times the educator responded with nods and was aware of ensuring positive body language.

OK, so the question is asking about the factors you need to consider when "recording the disclosure" (writing what you have been told). Maybe something like:

Immediately after a disclosure you should write down (document *) and date any comments or statements made by the child during the disclosure.
Try to use the child's exact words.
Keep notes about the child's behaviour and emotional state, as well as the circumstances at the time of the disclosure, (e.g. "Child stayed in her desk with her face hidden after all the other children went home. She cried for 15 minutes.")
Be objective and write exactly what you were told and observed. Don't let your personal opinion get in the way...

Hope this helps,
