Vulnerable Children - Online Safeguarding Children Training



Our study will focus on children, their vulnerability and the need for them to be protected in a range of community, care, education and other supported environments.

Vulnerable children do not understand the meaning or implications of their vulnerability.

Adults are physically stronger and have a far greater experience of life; as such, they are in a position of power.

When an adult deliberately sets out to harm or abuse a child, he or she will use this power to persuade the child to act against his or her will.

Adults therefore are easily able to harm or take advantage of children.

Every one of us was once a child, and so from this personal experience, whether good or bad, can understand the importance of protecting children. 

All children have the basic human right to be free from harm and to develop and grow up in a secure environment.

Many factors increase the vulnerability of children. These factors vary with the age of the child, the setting within which the interaction and the awareness of the adult concerned.

Increased vulnerability may not be due to an adult’s deliberate actions but may be because of a lack of awareness of the adult concerned.  The fact that vulnerability is increased, is the key factor; irrespective of whether this is deliberate or due to a lack of awareness.

Whether the actions that increase vulnerability are deliberate or not, makes no difference to the unpleasant effects they have on the child.

There are many factors that affect children and thus increase their vulnerability, below are some examples:

Isolation

Not knowing who to go to for help and support.

Communication difficulties

Learning difficulties

Disability

Poor support

Limited education and life experience

Dependency on others for basic care

In addition, there are factors that influence adults; these in turn can increase a child’s vulnerability. Some examples are:

Denial that anything is wrong (for example a parent not accepting that another family member could be increasing a child’s vulnerability)

Ignorance of signs that would indicate a child’s increased vulnerability

The “vulnerability cycle.”  The majority of adults that increase a child’s vulnerability were probably vulnerable children themselves.
