TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Protecting children -- the role of the law, 1: Principles and key concepts JO - British journal of community nursing A1 - Griffith, Richard A1 - Tengnah, Cassam SP - 122 EP - 128 VL - 12 IS - 3 N2 - The twentieth anniversary of the Cleveland Child Abuse scandal provides a timely reminder that children continue to be abused and this generally occurs in the community perpetrated by family members or close acquaintances. District nurses have a significant role in the prevention and identification of child abuse as they visit families in their homes. Fundamental to this crucial role is a working knowledge of the provisions and concepts of the Children Act 1989 that sets out the legal framework for protecting children.
