Questions for debate ‘School is one of the biggest institutions that offer stability in children’s lives do you think more could be done in teacher training about working with children that live with emotional abuse?’ ‘Whilst identifying emotional abuse is a challenge in its own right why does it take so long for agencies to respond compared to other types of abuse?’ ‘In my experience the difficulty in protecting children is when there is only emotional abuse apparent and the legal system will not take a case forward because of tangible evidence. How do we change this?’

The majority thought it was the most difficult form of abuse to identify, particularly amongst those who had been qualified the longest. –82% thought that support for families having to deal with the effects of emotional abuse was not adequate, rising to 93% amongst Social Care workers. –44% reported dealing with more cases of emotional abuse now than 5 years ago and ¾ had dealt with an emotional abuse case within the last 5 years. –Those working in Education/Early years were the least likely to have dealt with an emotional abuse case and were the least likely profession to think that they had enough knowledge and training in order to do so. – 71% didn’t think that Health and Social Care professionals had enough training to deal with emotional abuse cases, again increasing to 78% amongst Social Care workers.
