We had set up a station with our Video, Book, Poster and Hand Outs ready to go. When the school came through we played our video and talked about our book.
We identify 4 different forms of child abuse which is:
- Emotional Abuse
- Neglect
- Physical Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
We wanted to focus on Emotional Abuse because most people ( from our survey below ) and included our group think that this form of child abuse is the most effective form. We wanted to inquiry into why it’s hard to carry out and how can we help.
This is our survey.

Emotional Abuse
It can be more harmful than physical abuse because it is something that we can’t see. Emotional abuse can happen anytime. It can come from the words or attitude of the abuser.
Effect on children’s feelings and health.
Children feel upset or discomfort when they are around others because of what they been through. It takes their trust away from trusting others.
What the children been through not just affecting their mind, it’s also affecting their health. When they hurts and upset sometimes it could makes them don’t want to eat.
No matter who you are or what you work you do, you have opportunities to support and help keep children safe. The sooner we reach out, the sooner they can get help.
Look out for:
- parents stress or unhappy
- parents not enough money to raise children
- drugs
- medical issues eg. mental illness
Some ways to help:
- Provide encouragement and offer practical support
- talk to someone experienced, for a different point of view or ideas for helping
