Trilogy of Risk: Awareness Raising Resources
Alcohol/Drug Misuse
Domestic Abuse
Mental ill-health
Case reviews and learning reviews have been undertaken by the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Safeguarding Children and Safeguarding Adults Boards. They have highlighted the need for practitioners to understand that risk is increased when these issues are found together and strengthen working practice to tackle this more effectively.
This is a complex area of work. There is a need to raise the awareness of all workers who may come across individuals who are struggling with one or more of these issues. To prompt thinking about the potential for increased risk, whether practitioners work primarily with adults or children we have:
-
Put together an introduction
-
Produced a poster
-
Produced a leaflet
-
Put together a PowerPoint
Please see the below attachments.
The "Are they shouting because of me?" Children's Commissioner report covers the voices of children living in households with domestic abuse, parental substance misuse and mental health issues, published in July 2018.
