When dealing with suspected or actual abuse it is important that we don’t make premature judgments and try to deal with the situation without having all information and evidence required. Just because (for example) a child comes into school regularly with cuts and bruises, this does not mean that they are being abuse. Observations can play a key role into getting actual evidence. By making premature judgments and proceeding to accuse parents/carers of abusing a child can cause a lot of unnecessary upset to both parent and child and make your workplace look inadequate.
I think it is important to comply with your settings policies and procedures because they are there to help you and explain your roles and responsibilities when dealing with such cases. We need to remember that in some cases of abuse, it can turn into a criminal investigation so by not complying with your policies, you may jeopardise the case and possible incriminate yourself.
Some children are more at risk than others and are more vulnerable because they may have communication difficulties i.e. English being a second language to them, Special needs, inability to talk properly because they are to young or have a speech impairment, not wanting to say anything because it is a loved one, substance abuse in the home or poor parent child communication/bond etc.
