Guidance Article on Child Vulnerability

The assessment of safety relies on the assessment of child vulnerability, safety threats, and protective capacities.As every child is unique and possesses individual characteristics that may reduce or heighten their vulnerability, the assessment of child vulnerability is imperative. The child’s vulnerabilities must be synthesized from a framework that considers a child’s unique needs, behaviors, developmental level, and cognitive and social functioning and the caregivers’ emotive, cognitive and behavioral ability to protect. As conditions in the lives of families change, it is necessary to reassess child vulnerability throughout the life of a case. |
