| Are our frontline clinicians equipped with the ability and confidence to address child abuse and neglect? |
| Summary: Reports on a survey of medical practitioners in Sydney, New South Wales, which looked at the role of confidence in reporting child abuse and found significant differences in confidence and practice in clinical workers in primary care and hospital emergency departments. Suggests that this may be explained by differences in training and that targeted and relevant training should be provided to all frontline clinical workers, especially general practitioners (GPs). Includes questionnaire. |
