From a distance Looked after children living away from their home area. Adverse Childhood Experiences and Complex Trauma in Looked After Children – CCATS. What is trauma?

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Complex Trauma in Looked After Children – CCATS

A traumatic event or situation creates psychological trauma when it overwhelms the individual’s ability to cope, and leaves that person fearing death, or physical/psychological harm. The circumstances of the event often include abuse of power, betrayal of trust, helplessness, pain, confusion, and/or loss. Exposure to trauma is relatively common in the general population. According to one worldwide study conducted by the World Health Organisation including over 68,000 participants, over 70% of those responded had experienced a traumatic event; 30.5% of those were exposed to four or more events (Benjet et al., 2015). The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study investigated the link between childhood trauma and adult health in over 17,000 people. Bibliography and further reading.

Social care commentary: multi-agency safeguarding arrangements

It cannot be done by local authorities alone. This is true across all aspects of safeguarding arrangements: from the frontline practitioner identifying a child at risk and making a referral to the local authority, through to leaders determining local strategic and operational responses to child protection issues. We must get this right for all children who experience abuse or neglect. With the publication of the new ‘Working together to safeguard children’ and local areas moving to new multi-agency safeguarding arrangements for children, this seems an opportune moment to talk about the important factors that we see enabling effective local multi-agency arrangements for safeguarding.

The trial and sentencing of children and young people for criminal offences engages a number of fundamental rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The rights most obviously engaged are Article 2 (right to life), Article 3 (prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment), Article 5 (liberty), Article 6 (fair trial) and Article 8 (private and family life).

Which human rights instruments are relevant? As well as the Human Rights Act 1998 and the ECHR, there are several international instruments that deal specifically with the rights of children subject to criminal proceedings.

From care to incarceration: The relationship between adverse childhood experience and dysfunctionality in later life. Figures out in June suggest that the number of children being taken into care is at its highest ever.

Last month the children and family courts service received over 1100 care applications, a 25% increase on this time last year. Itself a disturbing statistic, it becomes even more so when looked at in a wider context. A government report from 2002 states that a staggering 49% of children who have been in care will end up in the prison system. They make up 23% of the total prison population. The link between growing up in care and later being incarcerated is only one part of a larger and more complex problem.

Although there is considerable debate about the extent to which youth justice systems are sufficiently differentiated from the adult criminal justice system, the existence of a separate system acknowledges the fact that young people should be treated differently to adults in the criminal justice process.

The Justice Act (NI) (2002) sets out the principles governing the youth justice system in Northern Ireland and includes provisions for the use of youth conferences. Since enactment, restorative based youth conferencing has become the primary mode for dealing with young people in conflict with the law. There are two routes through which a youth conference can take place – either on the direction of the Public Prosecution Service (a so-called ‘diversionary’ conference), or on the direction of the court. One of the underpinning philosophies of restorative justice is to restore the harm caused by offending and the Northern Irish model has been cited as a model of good practice. Conclusion. Half of children in youth custody have been in care system, review finds. Children in care are six times more likely to be cautioned or convicted of a crime than other young people, new research has found.
