employed by an NGO. This NGO is the only organisation
delivering social work services in the local township. It is 15:30.
You receive a call from the social worker at the local hospital.
She reports the following: A six-week-old infant (girl) has been
admitted to the local hospital with internal burn injuries Doctors
are busy with the infant. If the infant survives, she will have a
tube implanted to be fed. This will be because of the severity of
the injuries. The mother of the baby gave her poison to drink.

household also includes two other children, aged 7 and 9 years,

Approach to the Case Study
1. Initial Assessment and Risk Identification
1.1 Immediate Concerns and Risks:
• Infant’s Condition: The severity of the internal burn
injuries indicates immediate medical concerns and the need
, for ongoing medical care. The implantation of a feeding
tube signifies a significant impact on the infant’s health.
• Mother’s Age and Situation: The mother is a minor (16
years old), which brings additional risks such as possible
lack of maturity, parenting skills, and knowledge about
child care and protection. She resides with her own mother,
which may affect her support system and resources.
• Household Dynamics: The household includes two other
children, aged 7 and 9, who are likely impacted by the
situation. There may be issues related to their safety,
emotional well-being, and schooling.
• Home Environment: The environment at the residence
might not be conducive to a safe and supportive upbringing
for the children. Factors such as neglect, abuse, or
inadequate supervision need to be assessed.
1.2 Risks to Address:
• Further Harm to the Infant: Risk of further harm or
neglect if the family situation is not immediately addressed.
• Potential for Continued Abuse or Neglect: The incident
of poisoning indicates a serious risk of abuse or neglect that
could extend to the other children.
• Emotional and Psychological Impact: The trauma
experienced by the children, especially the siblings, may
have significant emotional and psychological effects.
