I'm Lucy: Children are not protective factors

In response to practice learning which indicated that potential risks to children maybe obscured by professionals viewing children as protective factors for their parent or carer's mental health, the KSCMP has developed the 'I'm Lucy' resources.

The resources are designed to highlight that children are not responsible for protecting or improving the mental well being of their parent or carer and prompt professionals to consider their own practice, and whether potential risk of harm to children identified, understood and responded to. The resources include a video and reflection tool for use in team meetings, supervision and individual reflection.
