Law, Rights and Safeguarding (Children’s Scenario)
Introduction
The UK legislation, laws and policies have been leveraged to promote a deeper
understanding of domestic abuse and violence, whereby children and adult victims are
challenged. Implementing these elements requires effective collaboration and multiagency
working to help safeguard and protect the individuals. These factors should be implemented
across all care sectors, including social workers. Children and adults often experience abuse,
neglect, and other perpetrations. Therefore, it is crucial to apply the relevant laws, statutory
and legal interventions when addressing family and children’s cases in the United Kingdom.
They are also highly relevant in determining the right approach when dealing with dilemmas
and the tensions in the social work profession. This case study will therefore draw on the
laws and policies in social work practice, while also using the tensions and dilemmas relevant
to the practice to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the elements and how they can be
applied.
Case Study
The case pertains to a 14-year-old Amir who attends the Oxford Road Grammar
School. He is the second-born, with his first-born sister, Agita, who is already 19 and has
moved out of the home due to conflicts with their father after she refused to agree to an
arranged marriage. Third, Alayna, 6, and fourth, born Arifa, 4, live with them. The mother
left 6 months ago due to domestic abuse, but the father, Mr. Khan, explains that she moved
out because of Amir’s behavioural issues. Mrs. Mullins reported signs of physical abuse,
evident with bruises on Amir’s left thigh. The father was seen dragging Amir by hand, hitting
and slamming Amir’s head on the car.
