Abstract

This paper examines the initiatives and policies implemented in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to protect Children of Determination (COD) from abuse and neglect. Despite global efforts to address child abuse, children with disabilities, referred to here as children of determination, remain particularly vulnerable. This paper explores the social framework, legal protections, prevention strategies, challenges, and necessary measures to ensure that such children are safe and empowered to protect themselves from abuse. The paper also explores approaches to enhancing the efficacy of the caregivers engaged with these children so that they can predict, prevent, and deal with incidents of abuse. Drawing upon qualitative research and data analysis, the study assesses the effectiveness of existing programmes and proposes a model for a child advocacy centre that promotes and implements best practices. The study adopts a qualitative approach to collect the views of ten social workers and parents of children of determination through in-depth interviews, and to analyse data, legislation, and initiatives related to the target population in the UAE. In particular, this study highlights the critical importance of protecting girl children from abuse, given that international research indicates that girls are more vulnerable to abuse than boys. Keywords: Disability, Abuse, Prevention, Empowerment, Rehabilitation, Social Policy, Children of Determination, UAE, Child rights, Girls' rights, Introduction International Views on the Abuse and Protection of Girls and Boys with Disabilities People around the world often refer to individuals with disabilities as 'differently abled,' highlighting their unique [...]

Abstract

This paper presents thirteen human rights of children with disabilities, and relates these to the (a) accompanying issues facing the family, and (b) resultant therapeutic tasks. Parents of children with disabilities confront many challenges in raising their children, but do so in the absence of any role models for how best to parent a child with a disability. The therapist can greatly enhance the family's capacities in such parenting, but bears a responsibility to obtain knowledge and skills in working with children with disabilities and their families. The attitude and therapeutic stance of the therapist is fundamental to this work, as is helping families to incorporate the disability into the total gestalt of the child's identity. A nonpathologizing, coping model approach to increasing resiliency is emphasized.

Abstract

The notion of 'quality of life' frequently features in discussions about how it is appropriate to treat folk at the beginning and at the end of life. It is argued that there is a disjunction between its use in these two areas (1). In the case of disabled babies at the very beginning of life, 'quality of life' considerations are frequently used to justify enforced death on the basis that the babies in question would be better off dead. At times, babies with severe disabilities are thus allowed to die or even killed. In the case of terminally ill people 'quality of life' is also important in guiding the actions of doctors. However, in the case of individuals who do not wish to live any longer because their quality of life is so poor that they would rather be dead, quality of life is likely to be dropped as a guiding principle. Thus patients who wish to die and ask to be killed, will most often be forced to endure enforced life.

Abstract

The growing recognition of the rights of disabled children to receive appropriate and comprehensive educational provision is demonstrated by the introduction of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal. However, it is observed that appeals to the Tribunals are rare since the local authority fails to carry out their legal obligations towards a particular child. Hence, it is suggested that a parent can bring an appeal or complaint to the Tribunal is the solution to address this problem.
