Question

Please describe in paragraph form the first three steps that a child welfare case worker must take as the proper procedure to investigate a case of suspected child abuse and/or neglect.

Answer 1

Answer:There are four types of child abuse

• Physical abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Emotional abuse
• Neglect

First of all, a welfare worker needs to figure out what kind of abuse the child is facing. If the signs are hard to find then the worker should try to talk to the child, gain his trust so that he can open up.

If there are any signs, the worker should call 911 immediately and help the child to get therapy.
