CORE-INFO
A series of leaflets on aspects of physical child abuse
These leaflets are based on the work of the
Welsh Child Protection Systematic Review group, which is engaged in a rolling programme of systematic reviews of published research literature on aspects of physical child abuse. This is a collaborative project between the Department of Child Health at Cardiff University and the NSPCC.
CORE-INFO leaflets make the key findings of the systematic reviews and implications for practice accessible to anyone working with children or young people.
Our CORE-INFO leaflet summarises what is currently known about the clinical presentation of inflicted head and spinal injuries in children.
Examines the relationship between fractures and physical abuse.
A leaflet about how to differentiate accidental from non-accidental bruises.
Summarises what is currently known about oral injuries and human bites in relation to child abuse.
Our CORE-INFO leaflet can help you identify scalds and burns sustained by children that may be the result of abuse.
