The United Kingdom, a proudly multicultural nation, has integrated the concept of ‘cultural sensitivity’ into its policy and legislation to accommodate its diverse population. However, safeguarding children in ethnic minority and faith-based communities often proves challenging for practitioners, leading to these communities being labelled as ‘hard to reach’. The proposed solution is to involve community representatives or organizations in the statutory process. This paper uses fictionalized case examples, drawn from recurring themes observed in my professional and personal experience as a service provider, to highlight some of the lesser-known barriers that Charedi children face when dealing with sexual abuse. It examines the role of the Charedi community in restricting children's safety and inflicting further harm. The analysis reveals that when ‘cultural sensitivity’ conflicts with best safeguarding practices, Charedi children are ultimately left unprotected.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144171756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly during the repercussions of an accident or other potentially traumatic events, first responders, social workers, healthcare professionals and crisis workers often turn to parents for information about the child's reactions rather than directly to the child (Stover et al., 2010).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apart from the inconvenience caused to parents by interviewing children, there are many reasons for adults to not refer directly to the child: medical treatment which may leave the child unavailable for interview; parents trying to protect their child from thinking about the event; or the child's involvement in an ongoing investigation. Even clinicians tend to prefer parents' reports when forming an assessment of the child's psychiatric condition; believing that adults are more accurate reporters when children are included as part of an assessment (Grills and Ollendick, 2003).

In addition to the difficulty caused to parents by interviewing their children, there are several reasons for adults not to refer directly to the child. Grills and Ollendick found for example that medical treatment may leave the child in a difficult position to be interviewed; parents may try to protect their child from thinking or talking about the event; the child might also be involved in an ongoing investigation. Also, clinicians are inclined to prefer parent's reports when doing an assessment of the child's psychiatric condition; thinking that, adults are better informers when children are included as part of an assessment (Grills and Ollendick, 2003).

Summary numbers and supplementary tables are provided. Fifteen annual presentations included 201 individual cases. Abuse had occurred for 62 (30.8%) children, and 142 (70.6%) had abuse mimics. Presentations, over time, changed from mostly by faculty (81.2%) to half by trainees (51.6%). Twenty-five presentations led to publications. Many serious causal conditions and underlying diseases were identified. Unusual abuse manifestations and abuse mimics are unlikely to appear in large institutional or research consortium studies. They are lost in “other” categories of large databases. Being aware of them is important to conduct a thorough differential diagnosis. Case reports can be important presentation opportunities, can highlight unusual conditions, and can be springboards to further research. The role of child abuse paediatricians is not only to diagnose abuse but also to conduct thorough medical evaluations and consider broad differential diagnoses.

Drawing on related literature, this commentary emphasizes the need for structured curricula and clinical mentorship to promote sustained competence in mandatory reporting. It advocates for simulation-based training, case-based discussions and collaboration with legal and social service experts to ease concerns over repercussions. Cross-disciplinary initiatives could illustrate that timely reporting offers measurable benefits for vulnerable children. With this synergy of theory, practice and interagency support, nurse educators can better prepare student nurses to fulfil their ethical responsibility, ensuring that child abuse no longer remains concealed in healthcare settings.

This study seeks to explore the factors that facilitate children's ability to cope with exposure to domestic violence, recognizing the essential role of understanding how children navigate adversity in this context. Data for this qualitative study came from eight children aged 10–15 who are no longer living in an abusive home. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling with assistance from a social service agency. The study findings reveal the presence of protective factors at multiple levels. These protective factors were nested within microsystems (individual characteristics), exosystems (parental factors) and macrosystems (family members and peer factors), and they were instrumental in helping children navigate stressful situations, lower levels of violence-related stress and boost their resilience and well-being. This study's findings illustrate the significance and importance of protective factors that promote resilience and strength in children exposed to domestic violence. Supportive and extended family networks can provide critical resources, guidance and encouragement and contribute significantly to nurturing emotional, physical and mental strength.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
