Answer:

Child abuse falls into several different categories. These can include the following:

  • Physical abuse – deliberating hurting a child e.g. hitting, punching or physical chastisement, causing injuries such as bruises, broken bones, burns or cuts.
  • Emotional abuse – ongoing emotional maltreatment of a child including rejection, constantly threatening, or criticising a child so that they feel unloved and worthless. This can also include exposure to domestic abuse in the home.
  • Sexual abuse – forcing or persuading a child to take part in sexual activities, including inappropriate touching, kissing or sexual intercourse. This can also involve causing a child to look at or be involved in pornographic material
  • Exploitation – using a child for gain, either sexual or criminal
  • Neglect – failure to care for a child’s basic daily needs including food, clothing, medical care, shelter, keeping them safe, education and nurturing

More information on the different types of abuse can be found on the NSPCC website.

Answer:

Although not an exhaustive list, some signs to look for in contact with individuals at risk of harm of abuse include:

  • unusual injuries, including bruises, burns, fractures, bite marks or signs of self-harm
  • consistently poor hygiene, poor living conditions or inappropriate clothing
  • communicating aggressively or using sexual language
  • appearing withdrawn, guarded, anxious or frightened, particularly around certain individual
  • hearing or seeing shouting, violence, or intimidation
  • adults keeping children from view
  • unsupervised children visiting a house where only adults live.
Answer:

Type of enquiries that can wait include:

  • When a professional or practitioner would like to contact Tower Hamlets MASH Child Protection Advice Line (CPAL) to have a conversation about a concern they have for a child that might lead to a referral – but the child or young person is not at immediate risk of harm 
  • When a professional or practitioner would like advice
  • For cases that are NOT open to Tower Hamlets, any issues around contact arrangements between children and their parents
  • For cases that are NOT open cases where one parent has been taken to hospital, but the other parent or family members are caring appropriately for the child
  • *Note: If a/your child has an allocated social worker, please call the allocated social work directly or ask to speak to the team’s Business Support Officer.
