Rosie 1

Abstract

Rosie 1 is a child protection simulation which allows students or professionals to enter a family home on a seemingly benign section 47 visit and make choices and decisions about what to talk to the family about and how to say it. It offers the opportunity to experience a home visit and reflect on what goes on and to take risks about what to do, safely. As the story and narrative unfold (based upon a real case and empirical research) the events take a more sisnster perspective and raise quesitons about professional safety and the protection of children. Rosie 1 is the first in a suite of inter-professional serious game simulations developed by the Centre for Child Protection.
