We all have a responsibility to keep children safe from harm. As a health professional you play a key role in child protection – both in identifying children who are in need of safeguarding and support, and in assisting families who are at risk.
Our guidance, resources and training for healthcare professionals will help you fulfil your statutory duty and promote the welfare of children and young people. We can help you recognise the signs of abuse, respond effectively and appropriately to concerns and improve your practice.
