Instructions
In this assignment you are presented with a scenario indicating possible abuse or neglect. Your task is to detail the steps you must go through according to the Duty to Report laws of BC, and then reflect on what that process might be like for you personally.
Here is your scenario:
You notice that a child you are working with has bruises behind their ears (an unusual place to have a bruise), and strange small burns on their legs that they say came from a campfire. Then their story changes the next time you ask. They often show unusual aggression towards other children and flinch when touched.
What should you do? Outline the required steps you must go through, and then reflect on how you might be feeling throughout this process and what you could do to help you cope.
