Child protection
I'll be honest, this was the session I was dreading the most. However, the speaker was really sensitive about the issue and attempted to make it as light hearted as possible, without undermining the seriousness of the issue. We discussed several scenarios. It was really interesting to hear different people's perceptions on situations that caused people concern and situations that didn't cause people concerns but should have done. The speaker was very knowledgeable about the subject and discussed the issues in terms of the law.
We looked at the very sad case of Lauren Wright (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1573910.stm) and discussed how the case has affected child protection law in England and Wales. We also looked at how to deal with a disclosure and the different types of abuse.
