The checklist should include the number of monthly face to face contacts, phone contacts, and other services recommended on a case to case basis.…

This is why the local child protection officer should be notified so that they can investigate the situation to prevent the child from harming themselves or the abuser from harming them.…

The agencies/professionals that may be involved with this family are a health visitor, as Mr and Mrs Khan have a baby girl that is only 2 months old. The Khan family may also be in contact with a speech and language therapist, because English is the family’s second language, therefore the school that the children are in, may provide one for the children, as they may be behind with their language development.

As the Khan’s son has hearing difficulties, the family may be involved with an audiologist, to help their son get equipment needed.…

Through the interval referral, I developed preconceived notion of the type of family I was working with, however you should never make a judgement on individuals on what you read. (Descartes, 1988) states we should never make a judgement expect thing we know for sure. During a home visit to complete an FCAF assessment, I completed a risk assessment produced by the organisation, to establish there was any risk to the children, parents and my personal safety.

The purpose of this change proposal is an intervention to save the nurses from themselves of self destruction and the healthcare system (Noben et al., 2015). By adding certain features in the room as in massage chairs, focus points, music, and relaxing techniques could be added features for a calming effect.
