Abstract

This is the first of a four-part Study paper on child protection. Part 1 reviews the concept of child abuse and significant harm and the role of all health-care professionals and other key workers in preventing, detecting and reporting such harm. Those children who may be at particular risk of harm are described and the child-protection process is examined.
