Answers:
There are common physical and behavioural signs that may indicate abuse or neglect!. The presence of one of these signs does not necessarily mean abuse or neglect!. Other things need to be considered, such as the circumstances of the child or family!.
DoCS caseworkers are trained to work closely with children, young people and families and other professionals to assess whether a child or young person is at risk of harm from abuse or neglect and to provide support and assistance, where needed!.
If you know or suspect that a child or young person is at risk, contact DoCS Helpline on 132 111 immediately!.
When considering if a child or young person has been abused or neglected or is at risk of this, it is important to keep in mind the life circumstances of the child, young person and their family!.
The following risk factors (either singly or in combination) are associated with increased risk of harm for children and young people:
* social or geographic isolation of the child, young person or family, including lack of access to extended family
* previous abuse or neglect of a brother or sister
* family history of violence including domestic violence
* physical or mental health issues for the parent or caregiver affecting their ability to care for the child or young person
* the parent or caregivers
