TASK
PART A
1)Risk and protection analysis by using Holder and Morton's elements of safety.
In this case study John is six year old and abused by people and family. John is youngest
of three children. Due to the parents substance, mother and father consume drugs and alcohol.
Their family condition is very effective to children.
In this essay John is suffering from severe risk factors for example domestic disturbance,
unhygienic house and malnourished and infected with lice. Other risk factors that John had
problems settling and suffered speech and language difficulties as well as severe stuttering. By
these risk factors, they refused to go school because people and other children bullied them and
make fun of him (Nakanishi, 2014).
The absence or presence as well as different type of combinations and risk factor
contribute to the mental health of children and youth. The protective factors is determined as a
characteristics at a biological, family, psychological or community level. It is connected with a
lower likeliness of difficulty resultant or that reduces the negative effect of risk factor on trouble
termination. On the other the risk factor is mention that characteristic at the biological, family,

community, psychological or cultural level that concede and is related to with higher probability
of issues final result. The examples of risk factor are family, peer, society, community.
By using Holder and Morton's constituent of safety the risk factors are
 Threat- The harm is defined as any prejudicial effect of important nature on the child's
by physical, emotional, psychological well-being. It is threat that is not little or
insignificant and might moderately be awaited to cause considerable ans negative effect
on child. The harm should be distrust by adults, suicidal thoughts and self harming, low
self esteem etc. (Hewitt, 2014).
In the case John has severe disabilities and he threatened by their parents who are
consume drugs and alcohol and they doesn't give pamper and love to their kid. Children are
miserable form their parents because they don't get love from parents. Other threat by severe
learning difficulties. John could not be able to explain their views to other and stuttering also
people make fun of John and refused to go school attend classes etc.
 Harm- The child abuse is an inaction or action which causes death, injury, emotional and
mental harm to child etc. In this case study the psychological harm is occurring where the
behaviour of their parents, caregiver, caretakers etc. This type of harm can damages the
self esteem or confidence of the child which resulting in the psychological trauma and
emotional disturbance.
John is troubled by psychological behaviour of parents because of substance misuse of mother
and father. He is suffering from psychological harm, in this study, John and their siblings has
wretched. Child harm emotionally and mentally and they lose their confidence in-front of
anyone.
 Vulnerability of the child- The concept of child vulnerability, mention to the degree of
a particular child is wedged by risk engagement based on person child characteristics. Is
is determined as being under the age of eighteen years and presently at high level of risk
of deficient able protection and care. All kids are vulnerable by nature compared to
adults, but some are more critically vulnerable than different (Snape, 2014).
According to case study, it implies that John has suffered from vulnerability because of his
parents. All the care and support is demand on the adults in the child age. But in this age John
facing the violence and psychological abuse by their nurture. It damage their mental health as
well as creating the risk of physical health. John family is assailable at many of the stages.
