Words and Pictures DVD

Informing and Involving Children in Child Abuse Cases

Children and young people who are caught up in the child protection system often tell us that they don't understand why statutory professionals intervened in their lives and in their family. These youngsters also tell us that they commonly feel they have very little say in the decisions that are taken about their lives.

The Words and Pictures approach to working with children provides a concrete, tried-and-tested method for professionals to provide these children and young people with age-appropriate, clear information about the actual or alleged maltreatment that has occurred in their family.The Words and Pictures document then becomes a historical document that the children and their carers can draw upon in the future, and offers a clear foundation to involve the young people in planning for their lives, whether they live with their family or separate from them.

In this DVD, Andrew Turnell:

• Describes how to involve all of the key adults in the young person's life, both family and professional, in preparing the Words and Pictures explanation.
• Describes how to present the information to the children and involve them in creating the Words and Pictures document.
• Presents Words and Pictures examples in situations of sexual abuse, an injured infant and neglect.

We are currently preparing a new version of this DVD that will have subtitles in Danish, Dutch, Japanese and Swedish. This will be available mid-2010.

Prices include the cost of airmail postage anywhere in the world.
