ANSWER:
PHYSICAL ABUSE: Physical abuse involves the use of force by punching, hitting,
slapping, pinching, kicking, burning or scalding. It is a form of physical attack on an
individual, or a deliberate physical injury to a child or an adult, it can also be a wilful or
neglectful failure to prevent physical injury.

Children can never be considered to give informed consent to any sexual activity of any
description. In some adult’s consent may not be given and the sexual activity is either
forced on the individual against their will to participate in any form of sexual activity.
