■ Preventing impairment of children’s health or development
■ Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent
with the provision of safe and effective care
■ Taking action to enable all children to have the best
outcomes.
All clinicians working with children should be familiar
with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
(NICE) guideline CG89 When to suspect child maltreatment
(NICE, 2009) and General Medical Council (GMC) guidance
Protecting children and young people (GMC, 2012).
Nurses play a key role in recognising patterns of worrying
behaviour, including multiple visits to hospitals and other
health centres, and being in contact with the whole family.
They are in a crucial position both to recognise abuse and
to recognise children at risk, in the hope of intervening to
support the family and prevent abuse occurring. Educational
preparation and training for nurses should emphasise the
devastating impact of child abuse and neglect on children and
their families in order to improve recognition of the extent of
harm to the child. Although nurses were found to be confident
and knowledgeable in their obligation to report physical and
sexual abuse, they were less confident and knowledgeable about
emotional neglect and abuse (Fraser et al, 2010). Mandatory
reporting results in better recognition of all forms of abuse.
On 31 March 2014, there were 93 033 children in care in
the UK, including those who lived at home under their care
plan (NSPCC, 2015a). Nurses must be able to demonstrate
