About the series
The Core info series was based on a collaborative project by the NSPCC, Cardiff University and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH).
The RCPCH carry out a rolling programme of systematic reviews of published research literature, originally developed by Cardiff University, on aspects of physical child abuse and neglect.
The full systematic review findings and updated evidence base for the Core info series is available on the RCPCH website.
