With checklists and a central case study, master social worker
Fowler gives practitioners significant tools they can use to
interpret and apply information they collect in the investigation
and remedy processes. Fowler describes the impact of sexual abuse
on children and the means by which abusers are identified, then
describes the abusing adult in terms of initial assessment, family
structure, chronology, experience in childhood and adult life, the
perception of self, adult relationships, perceptions about
children, criminal offenses beside sexual offenses, self-esteem,
dominant and submissive behaviors, anger and aggression, violent
behavior, and the adult's perception of child sexual abuse. He also
describes the typical behavior of the non-abusing adults involved,
including assessment of their ability to protect the child from
future abuse. He includes information on terms and tools used in
assessing adults who sexually abuse children and lists of future
reading as well as references.
A practical tool for the assessment of children and their families,
this guide enables professionals to make informed decisions about
child protection issues. Firmly rooted in current practice, it
draws on the expertise of a practising consultant and experienced
qualified social worker Jeff Fowler, whose work has already formed
the basis of guidance reports for child protection agencies and
court proceedings. Providing detailed checklists for collecting and
interpreting information vital to a best practice assessment, it
also includes practical sections that focus on assessing attachment
issues, childhood experiences, alcohol and drug abuse, and
parenting skills and abilities. It presents a central case study
leading to an assessment report which can be used for case
conferences, as a core assessment in care proceedings, or for
statements in public and private law matters. This is a helpful
tool for anyone undertaking assessments but also for others who may
be involved in aspects of child protection work such as social
workers, health professionals, teachers, and legal and criminal
justice professionals.
