CATS at Berlin conference on early neglect and abuse and attachment disorders CATS were delighted to present a symposium at the International Society for Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology held in Berlin 14-18 September 2011. The symposium was entitled: 'Assessing the impacts of early neglect and abuse on adolescent disorder using attachment and affect-regulating frameworks'. We had contributions from our Italian colleagues in Palermo (Prof Caretti, Dr Ciulla and Dr Schimmenti), from Lisa Gabbarelli a CATS/SWAN PhD student and Yael Ilan Clarke, researcher at CATS as well as from Prof Toni Bifulco. The symposium was well received, with discussion centering on reasons for change in attachment, differences between mothers and fathers as perpetrators of neglect and abuse, and how attachment principles can be followed in residential care.

This enterprising project is targeting youth violence in the boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth by supporting victims of violence who attend the hospital A&E. Support is delivered by youth workers placed on the scene, in the form of mentoring and referrals to positive youth activities based in the community. Lifespan are evaluating this 3 year project, which has just completed its first year. We will be looking at changes in the young people’s risk factors, and their rate of repeat presentation to the A&E, amongst other outcomes.

The focus of the conference was on the use of narrative and life stories of victims in abuses of human rights. Attendees were from a wide range of disciplines including writers, academics, human rights activists, historians and film makers. The Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies has a key focus on the role of personal narrative in providing accounts of early life abuse and adult trauma in a variety of contexts and for different ages and cross-generationally. Seen through the prism of recent studies conducted by Centre members, interview material was used to investigate abuse of human rights in the personal, domestic, criminal and military arenas, covering childhood and adult accounts, among victims and perpetrators of abuse. Methodological issues are key, with accounts ranging from exploratory qualitative interviews, to standardised formats tested for reliability and validity. In each instance the victim of abuse have their own voice, and the accounts are used to investigate these experiences and to aid evidence-base knowledge and understanding, improve practice and policy around issues of violations of human rights. The presentations included life history interview accounts from (a) victims of childhood abuse and their later trauma experience (b) sexual offenders accounts of their early life abuse and (c) service personnel subjected to Gulf War Syndrome. These accounts contained details of experience largely undisclosed to relevant services (eg child abuse), or where disclosed falls on deaf ears (eg Service personnel and Gulf war syndrome). Discussion hinged around methodology of identifying abuse and trauma, practical uses of life narrative, archiving accounts, and legal and ethical issues in relation to human rights.

The aim of these events was to address central, current policy issues, exploring where key research is needed to enhance understanding and inform policy and practice. Representatives from universities, public and private sector organisations playing a central role were invited on the basis of their knowledge and experience in the area. Each event allowed time for sub-groups to prepare a proposal for a joint project, and a plan of action. The events culminated in the preparation of collaborative outline research projects. The selected themes were Community Cohesion and Cybercrime and Security.

After a welcome by Nicky Pace, Chair of SSCB Operational Board and interim Director of Children's Social Care, Prof Toni Bifulco was invited to give the first address, and presented on: Understanding neglect in childhood for social care - definitions and impacts. In this she sought to provide operational definitions of neglect as used in research, but highly relevant to practice. She also outlined research undertaken in the Lifespan research group showing the poor outcomes associated with neglect as well as highlighting the CECA-case record method for providing reliable scorings for neglect experience. Other speakers included Vivienne Evans, OBE, who spoke on Families for Adfam organisation for substance abuse; and Janine Brown and Carole McCauley commissioning managers on Introducing Joint Protocols. Workshops included impact of parental mental health, domestic violence and substance abuse on children and young people, as well as early intervention and child protection planning in relation to neglect. See Prof Bifulco's presentation here. Prof Bifulco is now in discussion with Sandwell Safeguarding to provide a workshop on Neglect to help social worker assessments. Police Life article "Complexity of Online Grooming" features research by CATS Findings from a study of convicted online groomers were discussed at an event attended by the social networking industry, the Metropolitan Police, government departments and leading children's charities. The study, the European Online Grooming Project, has been conducted by the National Centre for Social Research, Kingston University and universities in Belgium, Italy and Norway. Results were presented by lead researcher Stephen Webster from the National Centre for Social Research and Professors Julia Davidson and Antonia Bifulco, from Kingston University. Early results from the study challenge several myths about the way offenders select and groom their victims and present new challenges to all those working at the front line of this public health issue. They show that not all offenders behave in the same way, and that there are at least three distinct types of groomer - the article was published in 'Police Life' magazine.

John Carr, Secretary of the UK Children's Charities' Coalition on Internet Safety and long time campaigner for improved child safety on the internet has today been honoured with an OBE by Her Majesty the Queen. John was an early user of the internet and was also one of the UK’s first internet columnists with a regular monthly slot in Prospect, the current affairs magazine. However, two things triggered his interest in the child safety dimension of cyberspace. First and foremost his own children started using it and, about the same time back in 1996, he was approached by one of the UK's largest children's charities, Action for Children, for his professional advice on the public policy implications of the mass roll out of what was then for almost everyone a brand new phenomenon. It rapidly became clear to John that as the internet started to develop into a mass consumer product some very important safety and security issues needed to be addressed that were particularly important for new users in general and children and young people in particular. John Carr said "I am deeply moved and honoured to have my work recognised in this way. However I am very keen for this award also to be seen as an acknowledgement of everything Britain’s children’s charities have been doing for many years to help make the internet an even better place than it already is." CHILD INTERNET SAFETY DAY: 'Internet Grooming: Understanding offender behaviour and protecting young people' 26 March 2010, House of Lords The Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies held a successful event at the House of Lords to raise awareness about the threat posed to children by online groomers. This outlined research on how the Internet as well as other technologies such as mobile phones, are used to select, groom and prepare young people for sexual abuse. The event was Chaired by John Carr, Secretary of the Children's Charities' Coalition on Internet Safety, and hosted by CATS with the two directors Prof. Julia Davidson (Kingston University) and Prof Antonia Bifulco (Royal Holloway, University of London) introducing the session and describing preliminary findings from the European Online Grooming Project funded by the European Commission Safer Internet Programme and including partners in Italy, Norway and Belgium. A summary of these findings may be found below. The afternoon included presentations from Mark Williams-Thomas MA (who presented the recent ITN series 'To Catch a Paedophile') who argued that the police should work more pro-actively in undertaking covert work to detect online grooming and that a properly funded, nationally co-ordinated policing response is needed. Dr Elena Martellozzo from Middlesex University presented findings from a PhD study spanning 5 years which included an ethnographic of police practice at the Metropolitan Police High Technology Crime Unit, Dr Martellozzo described policing practice and offender online behaviour. In her presentation she described differences in individual’s grooming approach and explored the increased use of webcams and mobile phones in accessing children and young people. The event was well attended by representative from the police, CEOP, Social and Health Services, NGO’s, children charities and social networking sites such as Facebook. A lively discussion followed the presentations and issues including offender behaviour and early experience of abuse; the legal context of online grooming; the nature of the relationship between the perpetrator and the child and young people’s understanding of online risk were raised. The seminar emphasised the need for more research and further dissemination of information about the risks of internet abuse to the public, police and social services and to internet providers. View

Centre for Social Research: European Online Grooming Project
WORKSHOP:The two sides of trauma - victim and offender experience: Childhood violent trauma and PTSD in forensic settings - focus on assessment and treatment European Society for Trauma and Stress Studies (ESTSS) with Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies (CATS) Thursday 15th April 2010, London Metropolitan University ESTSS working with CATS held its first one-day workshop on PTSD in relation to offender populations. The day was hosted by Dr Vittoria Ardino at London Metropolitan University, and Professor Antonia Bifulco (Royal Holloway, University of London and Professor Julia Davidson (Kingston University) also presented at the workshop. The inter-disciplinary approach reflected the forensic psychology, lifespan psychology and criminology approaches respectively. The workshop was well attended, with professionals from the prison service, youth offending, and children’s services. The morning was devoted to outlining research models to increase understanding of PTSD in offenders and assessment of childhood trauma and the afternoon, following group discussion, focused on treatment issues. Dr Ardino in her presentation ‘neurobiology and cognition of trauma and criminal behaviour’ outlined the biological underpinnings of PTSD and complex PTSD. She called for further integration of trauma-criminal behaviour models and research into offense-related PTSD which is ‘unchartered territory.’ Professor Bifulco presented ‘ Attachment style as a framework for linking trauma and offending’ where she outlined attachment theory and adult attachment styles and the research examining attachment styles in offending behaviour, particularly around disorganised attachment. Professor Davidson presented ‘Understanding sex offender behaviour: trauma and experience in early lives, denial and blame attribution’. Her she examined her research into sex offenders’ childhood experience, emphasising physical abuse and hostile parenting, and looking at associations with cognitive biases. These presentations served to show interactions between biological, cognitive, behavioural and social factors in leading to high rates of PTSD in violent and sex offender populations. Professor Bifulco then discussed issues of assessment of early life trauma: ‘Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse: Assessment issues’. In this she outlined a standardised semi-structured interview of childhood neglect and abuse (www.cecainterview.com) and showed associations with offending behaviour. She particularly focused on psychological abuse, which is ill-defined in the research and treatment literature and has high rates in offending groups. She outlined the current use of the CECA as a standard assessment in the high security prison at Whitemoor and in young sex offender treatments in SWAAY. In the afternoon, Dr Ardino presented ‘Treating PTSD in offender populations’ outlining CBT, EMDR and other treatment approaches, and needs in complex PTSD diagnoses. Prof Davidson then focused on treatment of sex offenders: ‘Treatment approaches in sexual offending’ outlining the current Sexual Offenders Treatment Programme, commenting on its strengths and weakness. She also examined the treatment of internet sex offenders. There was a high level of discussion which focussed on issues around constraints on treatment in the prison service both in terms of time and flexibility of treatment. This is particularly difficult given the co-morbidity of disorders usually presented. Other issues concerned engagement with the treatment process, avoiding superficial engagement which fulfils prisoner requirements but will not lead to meaningful change. Other points raised were around the type of offender behaviour (for example domestic violence) and its possible relationship to PTSD and to treatment programmes. Greater demand for training of professionals in the field in both research models, assessments and treatment were called for. Professionals wanted a voice in trying to change the current restrictions on treatment in prison services. Comments were made about the helpfulness of the models and tools presented in helping in social work with children Looked After. Issues around secondary trauma in practitioners were raised with the need for effective supervision. The research disputes between those investigating PTSD and those investigating complex PTSD were also raised. The day was deemed a success in terms of the ‘knowledge exchange’ from research to practitioners. A high degree of varied expertise was shown by the presenters, and the audience contributed with questioning of current practice in the field and in understanding the latest research presented. ESTSS and CATS hope to present more such one-day workshops. The workshop was accredited for ESTSS members to the European Centificate in Psychotraumatology.

Final report on young people's internet use Research led by prof Davidson and funded by the National Audit Office and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre has been published by the NAO. The research included an online survey of 11-16 year olds (n= 1808) & focus groups (n=83) with young people in the UK. Key findings suggest that a substantial proportion of children reported having engaged in high risk behaviour online (defined by degree to which they share information with strangers), 37% had shared an email address; 34% provided information about the school they attended; 23% provided a mobile number; 26% a personal photograph. A significant proportion said they will continue with such behaviour following Internet safety training (particularly 13+), only 36% said Internet safety training would make them more careful online. Focus group findings indicated that interacting with strangers (i.e. adding them as ISM or Facebook friends and exchanging messages) is becoming an accepted behaviour not perceived as risk-taking.

CATS in the media Interview with Professor Julia Davidson, CATS co-director, on Jaycee Lee Dugard’s case: Jaycee Lee Dugard’s captor would have carefully groomed her, according to a Kingston University expert (link to full article). Routemapping Event at the House of Lords
A one-day 'Routemapping' event was held on 11th May by the Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies. A group of experts gathered for the first time in the House of Lords to share their knowledge on the prevention of child abuse and reduction in cases of child deaths. The meeting, entitled ‘Route Mapping Event on Child Safeguarding’, focused on concerns around the scapegoating of workers in child protection and sought to find ways of improving staff morale, recruitment, training and management. The Directors were joined by academic experts as well as representatives from the fields of social care, health, police and legal services, who were able to pool their expertise and ideas on how better care for maltreated children might be provided. The event, which was introduced by Baroness Thornton, made use of the Route Mapping technique, formalised by the University of Cambridge, which derives from the field of manufacturing as an efficient way of providing practical solutions to logistical problems. Professors Bifulco and Davidson hope that the outcomes of events such as these, along with the research group’s ongoing work, will influence government policy on social care services, which has been shown to be lacking in such recently high-profile cases as that of Baby Peter. Baroness Thornton opened the day by giving her support to the project, emphasising the problems faced and the importance of the work being carried out. The day saw intensive discussion with a focus on practical solutions, and will result in a report to be circulated to policy makers and heads of services shortly, with the findings also being published in relevant health and social care outlets. (a report has now been produced and submitted to the Social Work Task Force, and can be viewed here). Professor Bifulco says, ‘It is hoped that the focus on practical and workable methods of prevention in cases of children at risk of abuse will prove to be an effective response to what many specialists are lamenting as an overly bureaucratic and target-driven procedural process, which is seen by many to limit the effectiveness of many children’s social services’. Professor Davidson added, ‘University centres such as CATS can help to research better methods of working in multiagency teams, to help children and families’. Professor Bifulco and Professor Davidson are supported by over 25 specialists from fields including criminology, psychology and law, who between them will form the CATS Advisory Group, participating in ongoing research and contributing to the reduction of preventable cases of abuse towards children. CATS LAUNCH: Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies launched on 27 March
Centre for Abuse and Trauma studies officially launched on Friday 27 March, with a launch event held at the historic Reform Club in London. The background and aims of the centre were presented to an audience of professionals by its directors Professor Julia Davidson, a criminologist from Kingston University, and Professor Antonia Bifulco, a psychologist from Royal Holloway, University of London. “The aim of this new centre is to bring together a pool of experts, including academics in criminology, psychology and sociology as well as police officers, social workers, health workers, lawyers and teachers. They will work together on research and ways to improve training for professionals involved with children and families,” Professor Davidson said. “We hope this will ultimately help to reduce abuse suffered by children. It will also hugely improve the ability of different agencies to work together to look for solutions to child abuse. CATS will also look at ways to improve detection of child abuse to help prevent future cases like Baby P. “Some of the other important research projects to come out of the centre will include work on how social workers assess child abuse cases, exploring how using more systematic assessment tools can help social workers to collect more reliable information. CATS will also be working with young people in care to see how interventions by social workers and health professionals after abuse has been detected, can help ensure a better outcome.” A series of workshops and training to help boost skills among professionals in the latest research and assessment tools are planned. Peter Scott, Vice Chancellor of Kingston University, and Stephen Hill, Principal of Royal Holloway, University of London, welcomed the new centre and expressed commitment by the two universities towards promoting teaching and research excellence, and knowledge dissemination, and their joint sponsoring of CATS. Tony Greenwood Director of Research and Enterprise (RHUL) spoke on the importance of knowledge exchange and promoting enterprise in universities in partnership with public and voluntary services and the community. Commander Peter Spindler, of the Metropolitan Police, revealed groundbreaking research carried out by CATS looking into children’s willingness to report sexual abuse. The study, funded by the Metropolitan Police, will track the experiences of children and young people from the time a crime is reported through to the court proceedings. The study will focus on children and young people’s perception of the judicial process, their willingness to report sexual abuse and their experience of the investigative process. “There has never been a more important time for the academic community to step forward and provide their perspective on the challenging world of child abuse. Professionals are so immersed in addressing the symptoms and manifestations of abuse they rarely have the time or resources to analyse the issues and tailor their response accordingly. I am convinced CATS will be a valuable asset to this never-ending fight for the most vulnerable in society. The academic research and knowledge coming out of the centre is already helping train frontline staff. Child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr Arnon Bentovim, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist who initiated the Child Sexual Abuse Assessment and Treatment Service at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, and who established the Child and Family Training Organisation that will be working in partnership with CATS, said CATS is providing support in a very complex area where workers need the best information available to make decisions. “‘The universal concern of all reports on children who have been failed by professionals, is the lack of assessment and analytic skills of social workers,” he said. “Together with CATS we are training social workers to use approaches based on valid, well researched methods. Instead of a tick-box approach, they are empowered to use approaches which have been demonstrated to give a holistic, accurate picture of the needs of abused children and the risks posed by parents and family members. This method helps them to intervene to protect children and to help those recovering from trauma and violence. CATS will also help combat child abuse images appearing on the internet by working with the Children’s Charities Coalition on Internet Safety. “Most of the current research into internet abuse comes from America,” John Carr, chair of the coalition, said. “We really do need CATS to give us a picture about what is happening in this country, so we can tackle abuse more effectively. CATS launch was attended by a professionals from varied fields: Marianne Bentovim (Social Work Consultant and Family Therapist), Liza Bingley Miller (Social Work Consultant and Director of Child and Family Training), Maggie Brennan (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre - CEOP), Gail Cunningham (Dean, Faculty of Arts & Social Science Kingston University KU), John Davis (Head Of School of Social Sciences, KU), Rachel Edwards (Forensic Psychologist, SWAAY, offender treatment programmes), Alisdair Gillespie (Barrister & Reader in Criminal Law - De Montfort University), Ron Giddens (Director of Operations' St Christopher's Fellowship), Adele Jones (Professor of Childhood Studies, University of Huddersfield), Carol Kinley-Smith (MAPPA Manager Metropolitan Police), Elena Martellozzo (PhD student, Criminology, KU), Pierre Nadeau (Enterprise Department, KU), Gordon Parker (Head of Children's Services (UK), St Christopher’s Fellowship), Philip Spencer (Associate Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, KU), Geraldine Thomas (Child Psychotherapist and Research Psychologist), Baroness Glenys Thornton (Chair of Innovation Exchange Programme for the Third Sector), Clarissa Wilks (Dean, Faculty of Arts & Social Science, KU). download CATS launch press release

Toni Bifulco was asked to present at a symposium with her Italian collaborator Prof Vincenzo Caretti, on the European Online Grooming findings. The symposium was entitled ‘Psychopaths, Stalkers and Online Groomers – Psychopathology and study of violent behaviour’. The session was well attended and the messages from the paedophile behaviour of online groomers fitted well with the messages about psychopaths.
Rome was beautiful, and experiencing almost summer weather. This was viewed by the locals as a concession for the economic difficulties.
Toni Bifulco was invited to a one-day expert seminar around the issue of victims of terrorism. Her presentation revolved around what we know of victims of other sort of trauma and whether this could be applied to victims of terrorism. She illustrated her talk with findings from an Israeli study of youth in conflict zones undertaken by her PhD student Sue Lawrence.
Toni Bifulco was invited to this international psychology conference to present on the European Online Grooming Project. The session was well received, with little awareness of this problem among Romanian academics and the public. Invited to the same symposium was friend and colleague Prof Adele Jones, from the Childhood Studies Centre in Huddersfield who talked about sexual abuse in the Caribbean.
We had a very warm welcome in Romania, seeing the amazing medieval monasteries in the area, and being treated to displays of Romanian folk dancing and singing. We were also able to consolidate our links with Prof Nicoletta Turliuc from the University of Iasi.
June 2011: The CATS centre was represented at the European Conference for Trauma Studies in Vienna in June. In a symposium headed by Dr Vittoria Ardino (London Metropolitan University) and Prof Antonia Bifulco (Kingston University). The title was Assessment of complex childhood trauma and disorder outcomes: use of the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse (CECA) measure, with presentations from Prof Romauld Brunner of Heidelberg University, Germany and Prof Adriano Schimmenti of Kore University, Enna, Sicily.
The symposium was very well received with a lot of questions and interest in the CECA methodology for use in different European samples to investigate childhood neglect and abuse.
March 2011:
This one day conference had Neglect as its main focus, in relation to safeguarding children. Many social workers find neglect one of the hardest experiences to evidence in their chronologies and court reports, despite neglect having pernicious effects on child development and disorder. The conference was therefore aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of neglect amongst social workers in child safeguarding and protection services in Sandwell.
