FT Module 3: Safeguarding scenarios by admin | 30, 06, 25 | 0 comments Scenario 1: Jane Jane arrives at the group crying, obviously in distress. She has her 2-year-old son with her. She says that she lost her temper with him when he wouldn’t get out of the car and slapped him across the face. He has a bruise developing on his face, and is quiet and hiding behind her legs.
