THE SEEDS OF DICOURAGEMENT IN WORK WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
What is assessment? Assessment refers to a methodical manner in which a variety of information can be obtained regarding a subject. In this field the subject is known as the child and the information that is gathered identifies the needs, strengths, weaknesses and any other relevant information that may be necessary in order to decide whether action needs to be taken and if so then what is to be done. Assessment is an essential part of engaging with a child because it provides the baseline through which the child’s development can be measured. (DCSF, 2006)
This piece of work is an attempt to demonstrate how the behavior of a CYCW can lead to encouragement or discouragement by outlining aspects such as; ecological hazards, the 10 D’s of Deviance, the impact of positive personal theories as well as the impact on assessment when an interaction results in discouragement.
The four Ecological Hazards and it’s link to the Profiles in Discouragement
The outcomes within the Child and Youth Care practice can many a times be unpredictable. Any kind of engagement will involve the child, the practitioner and the environmental factors (family, school, peers etc). However, at times the intentions of a CYCW may be taken as negative. There are various ecological hazards that can come in the way of practice and that can lead to encouragement or discouragement. Ecological Hazard | Profile in
