2mins	Introduction	We will begin by introducing ourselves and giving a brief overview of what we plan to discuss. We will then allow the students to ask questions about ourselves for further clarity.
3mins	Knowledge Check(e.g., review of previous knowledge/skills/attitudes)	Define child abuse. Is child abuse limited to physical abuse? What are some steps to reporting child abuse? How do you identify child abuse? What are some charges for child abuse?	https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/fv-vf/ca-me.html
6mins	What is child abuse? As per the Ontario Association of Children Aid Societies, the term "Child abuse" involves neglect or physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. It also discusses potential hazards and patterns of abuse. As for specific meanings, Physical abuse is any intentional use of physical force or action on the part of a parent or carer that causes or threatens to cause harm to a child. It can involve burns, biting, tossing, punching, slapping, beating, bruising, and cutting. As well as being deemed abuse, punishing a child with belts, sticks, or other items can have significant effects. Emotional abuse is a pattern of behaviour that targets a child's self-worth and emotional growth. It involves making demands of a child that are too high, too harsh, or simply unreasonable for them to meet. An example of emotional abuse may be ignoring a child when they try to speak to you. Furthermore, exposure to domestic violence could also constitute emotional abuse. Neglect: This type of abuse occurs when a caretaker neglects to offer fundamental necessities, including the recommended caloric intake, sleep, safety, clothing, education, or medical care. It also includes neglecting to give a child enough supervision or leaving them alone for prolonged periods of time. Sexual abuse: takes place when a young person is used to satisfy an adult's or an older child's sexual desires. The youngster may comply out of fear or a desire to "make the adult happy." It is not necessary for the perpetrator and the victim to have physical contact in order for sexual abuse to occur. It could involve things like inappropriate pictures, revealing a child's genitalia, making inappropriate phone calls, etc.	Identify what type of child abuse is occurring: Scenario 1: Seven-year-old Maria resides in a tiny apartment in Oakridge with her single mother, Lisa. Due to her struggles with substance misuse, Lisa frequently spends a lot of time away from home. Maria is routinely left unsupervised and uncared for. Scenario 2: Emily, an elementary school student at Highcastle public school, is ten years old. Some worrying indicators that point to possible physical abuse are noticed by her teacher, Ms. Rodriguez. Scenario 3: 12-year-old Sophie's parents, particularly her father, frequently make fun of her behaviour, intelligence, and looks. In front of her relatives and friends, they make fun of her by speaking insensitively and sexist comments about her value. Scenario 4: 10-year-old Jacob asks his friend if his dad also takes pictures of him without his clothes on, to which the friend exclaims "No!?" and tells the teacher about Jacob's situation. Scenario 5: 11-year-old Jaden's parents suffer from substance abuse and leave him unsupervised for hours at a time. When his parents are at home they are constantly arguing with each other and even get physical in some cases.	What is child abuse?
4min	What are the duties of the police? Law enforcement's duty in case of child abuse is to ascertain if there was a criminal law breach, find and detain the perpetrator, and then file the relevant charges. This response must always be consistent. Furthermore, police officers are required to interview victims of child abuse meticulously, identify and document suspicious signs of abuse, and interrogate perpetrators. Importance of a multidisciplinary approach Social workers, medical professionals, victim/witness service providers, judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officials all play significant roles, both individually and together. Multidisciplinary teamwork is of paramount importance as it allows for proper communication which can help establish definitive roles for each Professional. Roles such as teachers identifying signs of potential child abuse and doctors tending to injuries and offering expert testimony in court. Furthermore, due to its ability to allow communication, a multidisciplinary approach can identify cases of child abuse pretty early on and thus result in the necessary interventions to take place to prevent the abuse from escalating.

3 min	The Child, Youth and Family Services Act The goal of The Child, Youth and Family Services Act (CYFSA) is a legal framework which seeks to encourage the best interests, well-being, and protection of youth and children. Furthermore, one of the many supplementary purposes of the CYFSA is to acknowledge that positive outcomes for children and families depend on appropriate information sharing in order to plan and deliver services. Common charges under the CYFSA and the criminal code Sec 125. (5) A person referred to in subsection(6) is guilty of an offence if, (a) the person contravenes subsection (1) or (2) by not reporting a suspicion Penalty: (9) A person convicted of an offence under subsection (5) or (8) is liable to a fine of not more than $5,000. 2017, c. 14, Sched. 1, s. 125 (9). Sec 218. c.c. Every one who unlawfully abandons or exposes a child who is under the age of ten years, so that its life is or is likely to be endangered or its health is or is likely to be permanently injured, (a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years, or (b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

3 min	Duties of CAS The main duty of the Children's Aid Society is to protect and provide a safe environment for children. They mainly focus on protecting children and youth from abusive households or from neglect. The police assist the Children's Aid Society with providing children with protection in situations where the child has been abused and needs immediate protection. The police also attend calls with youth workers to remove children from abusive households.	Reflect on how this topic is related to what is being taught in the other program	https://www.oacas.org/childrens-aid-child-protection/
3 min	Duty to Report If the public or professional workers have a job that relates to working with children, they have a legal duty to report any abuse they suspect is occurring to a child. To do this, they must have reasonable grounds that the child has been harmed or is not being cared for or if they think the child has suffered from sexual abuse. Collaboration between law enforcement and youth workers is vital in ensuring children stay safe and get the support they need quickly. Without youth workers, domestic calls would be about arresting the aggressor and not solving the main issue at hand. Youth workers can provide support for the children and parents, which in turn can increase the opportunity to solve domestic issues without it having to turn violent. With the joint efforts of both teams, children can be protected quickly.	Explain what the police do in domestic situations with children involved and the benefits of it.
