I don't think any of the guidelines is truly "tough"; all of the Do's should be followed, and all of the Don't's simply should be absolutely not done.

Dealing with child abuse situations can be confusing and scary but it is important to remember that it is our job to keep all children safe. It can be helpful to follow the Do's and Don't's and stay on track when talking to children about suspected or known abuse and neglect.

1. Find a private place to talk - not always easy
2. Remember to ask permission before touching - I may not "think" about it and touch. ex."pat leg"
3. Make certain to ensure safety - have I done enough

Remain calm. A child may retract information or stop talking if he/she senses a strong reaction. I think this will be hard for me to stay calm.
finding a privet place in the facility.

Don’t ask leading or suggestive questions.

Remaining calm
Would be hard to make promise's, even though you would want to reassure the child.
Press for more information

1.Remain calm and not showing your reaction to the child.
2. Find a private place to talk without interruptions. (As a teacher an incident would be noticed during class, and taking the child out of the room to a more private place may just make the child more uncomfortable and would be hard as the rest of the class would need a teacher).
3. Use the child’s vocabulary and only asking open ended questions initially.

For me, It's not toughest for "DO" and "DO NOT". As an children caregiver and teacher, we have the responsibility to comply with these rules to protect these naive children.

For me it would be hardest to:
1) not ask for too many details,
2) to not investigate the case further,

3) and not to promise to keep secret.

It's hard to pick three that would be hard for me. I feel everyone needs to do what they need to do to protect the child. However, if I have to choice three they would be.
1. Keep it a secret
2.Apply open ended questions.
3.Touching the child without asking first.

Remaining calm would be difficult as it is a very sad situation.

Reassuring the child that he/she is not in trouble because you can't really guarantee that 100%

Doing what you can to make certain that the child is safe from further abuse, again you can't guarantee this 100%

1. Promise to not tell anyone and keep it a secret.
2. Press for details. This may be hard considering the circumstance.
3. Finding a private place to talk may be difficult because teachers and students are usually always around.

the 3 things that would be the hardest for me would be to not press for more details, id be anxious to find out everything I can to help the child. not investigating on my own and also to keep calm and not expose the anger, frustration and just plain broken heart for the child and the situation entirely.

I think it would be hard to stay calm, because that is an upsetting topic. I think it would be hard not to press for details or try to investigate things on your own.

The three things that I would find the most difficult if a child is abused or neglected are trying to remain calm, and I would want to ask for more details, and it would be difficult to not criticize the person responsible. I would take a moment to make sure that I could stay calm, to be supportive but not to pry, and to not criticize the child's parent or guardian.

I don't find any of the tips difficult. What I find difficult is when you report and the case does not meet the criteria for a screen in.

The Do's and Do not's are not tough they are things that need to be done to ensure the safety and to make the child feel safe. they are important. You just push through and get it done for them.
