Evidence: It is important that children, young people, families and communities are free from victimisation, exploitation and abuse because it is written in the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) which the UK signed in 1991.
This states in Article 19 that the Government must take all appropriate action to protect a child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care

To victimise someone is to punish or discriminate against selectively or unfairly, or to make a victim of someone.
To exploit someone is to take advantage of them unethically or unjustly for one’s own advantage and to abuse someone is to maltreat, or speak insultingly or cruelly to.
Victimisation or abuse of a child can take many forms. A child could be a victim of bullying by other children, name calling, teasing, physical bullying such as pushing, kicking, punching or being spat at. Abuse could be at the hands of an adult or another child, being sexually abused, or physically abused, or even psychologically abused - name calling or constant put downs. All this makes a child a victim and is against the UNCRC.
To exploit a child is to have them do something against their will for another’s gain. A child could be made to work for another’s profit, to make them do something against their will because they are too young to understand it is wrong e.g. sexual acts. Again this is against the UNCRC and it is the child’s right to not be exploited, abused or made a

    A group that I would be interested in forming involves a trichotomy of special populations: specifically males, first-time or multiple offenders, and substance users. There are several reasons why I would be interested in this particular group; however, the main reason is the specific need and overwhelming necessity to target this population with support. Abrams and Teplin (as cited in Skeem, Louden, Manchak, Vidal, & Haddad, 2009) found that, “the prevalence of mental disorder in correctional populations is four to eight times higher than that in the general population,” (p. 122). Furthermore, 58% to 84% of this population have co-occurring alcohol or substance abuse disorders (Skeem…

    The United Nations (UN) convention on the rights of children in 1989 is a hugely essential piece of legislation which has influenced all child protection/safeguarding legislations. This is a treaty of nations which aims for all children to be treated equally, fairly and with dignity throughout their childhood and lifetime. All kinds of children’s rights were discussed and agreed upon; the right to life, liberty, freedom, justice, health treatment, education, equality and much more. Article 19 is most relevant to safeguarding children, “Government must take all appropriate measures to protect a child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including…

    The strengths perspective is crucial when it comes to the treatment of clients who have some sort of addiction. Relapse is common when it comes to the healing process in addiction. As the clinician I would remember the importance of helping Rebecca see the strength within herself. The mere fact that she is coming to therapy, being open and sharing with me her struggles and relapse is a form of strength and I would hope she would recognize that. The reason I would begin with this is because in order to achieve the other steps such as setting goals the client must be motivated to grow and change. A client is more inclined to change if they believe themselves that they are capable. Someone who views themselves as a failure may be more willing to give up in this…

    The United Nations Convention on the rights of the child 1989 (UN 1989) was ratified by the UK on the 16th December 1991. It includes children’s rights to protection from abuse, the right to express their views and be listened to, and the right to care and services for disabled children or children living away from home. Although different British governments have said that it regards itself bound by the Convention and refers to it in child protection guidance, it has not become part of the UK law. There is no single piece of legislation that covers safeguarding children and young people in the UK; different laws and guidelines cover different parts of the UK-England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (NSPCC 2010 pg1)…

    The problem with most addicts is that they don’t completely understand the differences between abuse and dependency. They also don’t understand that it doesn’t take long for abuse to become dependency. Jose’s real problem started when he began to abuse cocaine on the weekend, which led to significant trouble in his social life. As the substance abuse began to grow more prominent, he depended on it more and more and that led to physical and emotional symptoms that included: craving more of the drug just to maintain his desired high, going through withdrawal when he didn’t have his drug of choice, and spending large amounts of time in drug related activities.…
