| Summary: Discusses the findings of a study into hospital-wide knowledge and the effects of a Child Protection Week on this knowledge, skills and attitudes. The week was organised by the Child Protection Forum in a large hospital in the south-west of England and was followed up with a survey of all employees. Staff were more likely after the week to declare knowledge of signs of abuse, child protection procedures, understanding of what would happen following a referral and where to get further training, following the week. Includes a description of the awareness week’s activities and the self-report survey. |
